Create live uniqueIndex method #212

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
I want to be able to create a Map view on a collection with a function to 
calculate the key for each value.

uniqueIndex() is so close, but is not useful for me as I need to update the 
backing collection and recalculate the index (which introduces code instead 
of removing, and is slow).

It would be fantastic to have this as a Collection decorator implementation 
that is able to follow the same contract of the Maps.uniqueIndex() and 
MultiMaps.index() functions. e.g. the decorator would have add*() methods 
that throw the appropriate exceptions and a map/multimap view methods to get 
the index view.

FYI, Glazed Lists has this. 
  http://publicobject.com/glazedlists/glazedlists-
1.8.0/api/ca/odell/glazedlists/GlazedLists.html#syncEventListToMap(ca.odell.glaz
edlists.EventList,%20ca.odell.g
lazedlists.FunctionList.Function)

I don't think it makes sense for Google Collections. Each map access would be 
extremely slow because the 
wrapped collections don't publish their changes.
