There are at least two ways to create ConcurrentHashSet in Java. One of them works in Java 8 or newer. The second one works well in older versions of Java.
You want to create
ConcurrentHashSet but it is missing in the
java.util.concurrent package. As an explanation – the package contains some concurrent implementations of collection and map interfaces.
The implementation of
ConcurrentHashSet is missing because you can always get it from
ConcurrentHashMap or just use a special implementation of
SortedSet called
ConcurrentSkipListSet.
Solution A: ConcurrentHashSet derived from ConcurrentHashMap (Java 8 or newer)
If you use at leat Java 8 in your project, this is recommended solution for the problem of missing
ConcurrentHashSet class.

Set<String> myConcurrentSet = ConcurrentHashMap.newKeySet(); |
Solution B: ConcurrentHashSet derived from ConcurrentHashMap
If you use an older Java version you can retrieve
ConcurrentHashSet from dummy ConcurrentHashMap instance.
|
|
Map<String, String> myMap = new ConcurrentHashMap<String, String>(); Set<String> myConcurrentSet = Collections.newSetFromMap(myMap); |
Solution C: Use ConcurrentSkipListSet
If you need a sorted set implementaion or you don’t care about momory overhead, you can always use
ConcurrentSkipListSet implementation from the
java.util.concurrent package.

|
Set<String> myConcurrentSet = new ConcurrentSkipListSet<>(String); |
