public abstract class MapFactory<K,V>
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable
The MapFactory is a mechanism for specifying what kind of map is to be used
by some object. For example, if you want a Counter which is backed by an
IdentityHashMap instead of the defaul HashMap, you can pass in an
