ISynchHash.remove

Removes an item from the hash and synchronizes the cluster as needed.

Syntax

public Object 
remove(String key)

Parameters

key

The key of the object to remove.

Description

The remove method removes an item from the hash and synchronizes the cluster as needed. Note that it is more efficient to use the clear () method to remove a hash then to remove all entries one by one; the first iteration of the loop has little performance cost, but subsequent iterations have the additional performance cost of cluster synchronization, which can be very high.

Returns

Returns the object; null if not found.
