+ *
+ * One or more variables that together maintain an initially zero
+ * {@code long} sum.  When updates (method {@link #add}) are contended
+ * across threads, the set of variables may grow dynamically to reduce
+ * contention. Method {@link #sum} (or, equivalently, {@link
+ * #longValue}) returns the current total combined across the
+ * variables maintaining the sum.
+ *
+ * <p>This class is usually preferable to {@link AtomicLong} when
+ * multiple threads update a common sum that is used for purposes such
+ * as collecting statistics, not for fine-grained synchronization
+ * control.  Under low update contention, the two classes have similar
+ * characteristics. But under high contention, expected throughput of
+ * this class is significantly higher, at the expense of higher space
+ * consumption.
+ *
+ * <p>LongAdders can be used with a {@link
+ * java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentHashMap} to maintain a scalable
+ * frequency map (a form of histogram or multiset). For example, to
+ * add a count to a {@code ConcurrentHashMap<String,LongAdder> freqs},
+ * initializing if not already present, you can use {@code
+ * freqs.computeIfAbsent(k -> new LongAdder()).increment();}
+ *
+ * <p>This class extends {@link Number}, but does <em>not</em> define
+ * methods such as {@code equals}, {@code hashCode} and {@code

+     * This class maintains a lazily-initialized table of atomically
+     * updated variables, plus an extra "base" field. The table size
+     * is a power of two. Indexing uses masked per-thread hash codes.
+     * Nearly all declarations in this class are package-private,
+     * accessed directly by subclasses.
+     *
+     * Table entries are of class Cell; a variant of AtomicLong padded
+     * (via @sun.misc.Contended) to reduce cache contention. Padding
+     * is overkill for most Atomics because they are usually
+     * irregularly scattered in memory and thus don't interfere much
+     * with each other. But Atomic objects residing in arrays will
+     * tend to be placed adjacent to each other, and so will most
+     * often share cache lines (with a huge negative performance
+     * impact) without this precaution.
+     *
+     * In part because Cells are relatively large, we avoid creating
+     * them until they are needed.  When there is no contention, all
+     * updates are made to the base field.  Upon first contention (a
+     * failed CAS on base update), the table is initialized to size 2.
+     * The table size is doubled upon further contention until
+     * reaching the nearest power of two greater than or equal to the
+     * number of CPUS. Table slots remain empty (null) until they are
+     * needed.
+     *
+     * A single spinlock ("cellsBusy") is used for initializing and
+     * resizing the table, as well as populating slots with new Cells.
+     * There is no need for a blocking lock; when the lock is not
+     * available, threads try other slots (or the base).  During these
+     * retries, there is increased contention and reduced locality,
+     * which is still better than alternatives.
+     *
+     * The Thread probe fields maintained via ThreadLocalRandom serve
+     * as per-thread hash codes. We let them remain uninitialized as
+     * zero (if they come in this way) until they contend at slot
+     * 0. They are then initialized to values that typically do not
+     * often conflict with others.  Contention and/or table collisions
+     * are indicated by failed CASes when performing an update
+     * operation. Upon a collision, if the table size is less than
+     * the capacity, it is doubled in size unless some other thread
+     * holds the lock. If a hashed slot is empty, and lock is
+     * available, a new Cell is created. Otherwise, if the slot
+     * exists, a CAS is tried.  Retries proceed by "double hashing",
+     * using a secondary hash (Marsaglia XorShift) to try to find a
+     * free slot.
+     *
+     * The table size is capped because, when there are more threads
+     * than CPUs, supposing that each thread were bound to a CPU,
+     * there would exist a perfect hash function mapping threads to
+     * slots that eliminates collisions. When we reach capacity, we
+     * search for this mapping by randomly varying the hash codes of
+     * colliding threads.  Because search is random, and collisions
+     * only become known via CAS failures, convergence can be slow,
+     * and because threads are typically not bound to CPUS forever,
+     * may not occur at all. However, despite these limitations,
+     * observed contention rates are typically low in these cases.
+     *
+     * It is possible for a Cell to become unused when threads that
+     * once hashed to it terminate, as well as in the case where
+     * doubling the table causes no thread to hash to it under
+     * expanded mask.  We do not try to detect or remove such cells,
+     * under the assumption that for long-running instances, observed
+     * contention levels will recur, so the cells will eventually be
+     * needed again; and for short-lived ones, it does not matter.
