CircularFifoBuffer is a first in first out buffer with a fixed size that
replaces its oldest element if full.
The removal order of a CircularFifoBuffer is based on the
insertion order; elements are removed in the same order in which they
were added. The iteration order is the same as the removal order.
The
CircularFifoBuffer.add(Object) ,
CircularFifoBuffer.remove() and
CircularFifoBuffer.get() operations
all perform in constant time. All other operations perform in linear
time or worse.
Note that this implementation is not synchronized. The following can be
used to provide synchronized access to your CircularFifoBuffer :
Buffer fifo = BufferUtils.synchronizedBuffer(new CircularFifoBuffer());
This buffer prevents null objects from being added.
