    024/**
    025 * A specialized implementation of the {@link ConcurrentInitializer} interface
    026 * based on an {@link AtomicReference} variable.
    027 *
    028 * <p>
    029 * This class maintains a member field of type {@link AtomicReference}. It
    030 * implements the following algorithm to create and initialize an object in its
    031 * {@link #get()} method:
    032 * </p>
    033 * <ul>
    034 * <li>First it is checked whether the {@link AtomicReference} variable contains
    035 * already a value. If this is the case, the value is directly returned.</li>
    036 * <li>Otherwise the {@link #initialize()} method is called. This method must be
    037 * defined in concrete subclasses to actually create the managed object.</li>
    038 * <li>After the object was created by {@link #initialize()} it is checked
    039 * whether the {@link AtomicReference} variable is still undefined. This has to
    040 * be done because in the meantime another thread may have initialized the
    041 * object. If the reference is still empty, the newly created object is stored
    042 * in it and returned by this method.</li>
    043 * <li>Otherwise the value stored in the {@link AtomicReference} is returned.</li>
    044 * </ul>
    045 * <p>
    046 * Because atomic variables are used this class does not need any
    047 * synchronization. So there is no danger of deadlock, and access to the managed
    048 * object is efficient. However, if multiple threads access the {@code
    049 * AtomicInitializer} object before it has been initialized almost at the same
    050 * time, it can happen that {@link #initialize()} is called multiple times. The
    051 * algorithm outlined above guarantees that {@link #get()} always returns the
    052 * same object though.
    053 * </p>
    054 * <p>
    055 * Compared with the {@link LazyInitializer} class, this class can be more
    056 * efficient because it does not need synchronization. The drawback is that the
    057 * {@link #initialize()} method can be called multiple times which may be
    058 * problematic if the creation of the managed object is expensive. As a rule of
    059 * thumb this initializer implementation is preferable if there are not too many
    060 * threads involved and the probability that multiple threads access an
    061 * uninitialized object is small. If there is high parallelism,
    062 * {@link LazyInitializer} is more appropriate.
    063 * </p>
    064 *
