# Package com.hazelcast.util

This package contains classes to support the inner workings of Hazelcast as well as some backports of newer Java features / data structures to support older Java versions in a clean and nice way.

  SampleableConcurrentHashMap.SamplingEntry<K,V> | Entry to define keys and values for sampling.
  ServiceLoader | Support class for loading Hazelcast services and hooks based on the Java `ServiceLoader` specification, but changed to the fact of class loaders to test for given services to work in multi classloader environments like application or OSGi servers.
  SetUtil | Utility class for Sets.
  SortingUtil | Utility class for generating Comparators to be used in sort methods specific to hazelcast classes.

## Package com.hazelcast.util Description

This package contains classes to support the inner workings of Hazelcast as well as some backports of newer Java features / data structures to support older Java versions in a clean and nice way. This is an internal package; so we don't provide backward compatibility on these classes.
