A java.util.Map providing thread safety and atomicity
 guarantees.
 
Memory consistency effects: As with other concurrent
 collections, actions in a thread prior to placing an object into a
  ConcurrentMap as a key or value
 happen-before
 actions subsequent to the access or removal of that object from
 the  ConcurrentMap in another thread.
 
This interface is a member of the Java Collections Framework.
