When I first saw Volker's suggestion I thought, no I can't iterate over 
the map without some other synchronization but I looked into the 
ConcurrentHashMap docs and found;

"Similarly, Iterators, Spliterators and Enumerations return elements 
reflecting the state of the hash table at some point at or since the 
creation of the iterator/enumeration. They do not throw 
ConcurrentModificationException. However, iterators are designed to be 
used by only one thread at a time."

As subtle as his suggestion was, I think he may be on to something.  I'm 
going to think about it some more but Volker may have the simplest solution.
