concurrent map

As explained here and here, the map type in Go doesn't support concurrent reads and writes. concurrent-map provides a high-performance solution to this by sharding the map with minimal time spent waiting for locks.

usage

Import the package:

import (
"github.com/streamrail/concurrent-map"
)

go get "github.com/streamrail/concurrent-map"

The package is now imported under the "cmap" namespace.

example

// Create a new map.map:=cmap.New()
// Sets item within map, sets "bar" under key "foo"map.Set("foo", "bar")
// Retrieve item from map.iftmp, ok:=map.Get("foo"); ok {
bar:=tmp.(string)
}
// Removes item under key "foo"map.Remove("foo")

For more examples have a look at concurrent_map_test.go.

Running tests:

go test"github.com/streamrail/concurrent-map"
