Add Immutable Map Decorator and splitPreserveAllTokens Utility

Summary

This PR implements two features requested in recent issues:

  1. Immutable Map Decorator (org.cactoos.map.Immutable)

    • Complete read-only wrapper for any Map<K, V>
    • Blocks all mutation operations (put, remove, putAll, clear)
    • Makes views (keySet, values, entrySet) and their iterators immutable
    • Blocks Entry.setValue() on entries from entrySet()
    • Follows existing patterns from list.Immutable, set.Immutable, etc.
  2. splitPreserveAllTokens Utility (SplitPreserveAllTokens + TriFuncSplitPreserve)

    • Preserves ALL tokens including leading/trailing/adjacent empty tokens
    • Unlike Java's String.split() which discards trailing empties
    • Equivalent to Apache Commons Lang StringUtils.splitPreserveAllTokens()
    • Object-oriented Iterable<Text> interface with flexible constructors
    • Supports limit on token count

Both features include:

  • Full Javadoc documentation with examples
  • Comprehensive test suites (49 + 34 + 17 = 100 tests)
  • README.md usage examples and comparisons

Why These Changes Are Correct

Immutable Map

  • Consistency: Implements Map directly (like existing Immutable decorators), not extending MapEnvelope
  • Philosophy: Follows Cactoos' immutable-first, object-oriented approach
  • Correctness:
    • Covariant constructor (Map<? extends K, ? extends V>)
    • Views return immutable wrappers (ImmutableEntrySet, etc.)
    • Handles both MapOf and HashMap entries correctly
  • Edge Cases: Tests confirm decorator transparency and stability after failed mutations

splitPreserveAllTokens

  • Consistency: Uses TriFunc for core logic, IterableEnvelope for OO wrapper
  • Philosophy: Objects over static methods, iterable over arrays
  • Correctness:
    • Key Guarantee: N delimiters always produce N+1 tokens
    • Literal string matching (not regex)
    • Full limit support matching Apache Commons behavior
    • Handles all edge cases: empty strings, only delimiters, multi-char delimiters

Test Coverage

Feature Tests Coverage
Immutable Map 49 100% of methods and edge cases
SplitPreserveAllTokens 34 All behaviors, CSV scenarios, limits
TriFuncSplitPreserve 17 Core algorithm edge cases

Tests verify:

  • Mutation attempts throw UnsupportedOperationException
  • Views/iterators are immutable
  • Content preservation in edge cases
  • Consistency with String.split() differences
  • Real-world scenarios (CSV, TSV)

Important Decisions

Immutable Map

  • Direct Implementation: Chose implements Map over extends MapEnvelope for full control (consistent with other Immutable classes)
  • Decorator vs Copy: Documented that this is a view, not snapshot (as per issue requirements)
  • Entry Wrapping: Created ImmutableEntry to block setValue() even for mutable entries
  • View Adapters: Added MappedKeys/MappedValues for covariant type safety

splitPreserveAllTokens

  • Literal Matching: Used indexOf() (not regex) to match Apache Commons behavior
  • TriFunc Core: Separated algorithm for testability and reuse
  • Default Delimiter: Space (consistent with existing Split class)
  • Iterable Interface: Returns Iterable<Text> following Cactoos patterns

References

  • Closes #XXX: Immutable Map decorator
  • Closes #YYY: splitPreserveAllTokens implementation
  • Consistent with existing Split vs SplitPreserveAllTokens pattern
  • All tests pass, full Javadoc and README updates included
