Interface ReadWriteUpdateLock

All Superinterfaces:
ReadWriteLock
All Known Implementing Classes:
ReentrantReadWriteUpdateLock
public interface ReadWriteUpdateLock extends ReadWriteLock
Extends the JDK ReadWriteLock, providing an update lock in addition to the read lock and the write lock. The update lock supports read-only operations and can coexist with multiple read locks held simultaneously by other reader threads. However it may also be upgraded from its read-only status to a write lock, and it may be downgraded again back to a read lock. See implementation ReentrantReadWriteUpdateLock for more details.
