java 拆分map,如何在Java中分割一个HashMap

I was wondering if it is possible to split a HashMap into smaller sub-maps.

In my case I have a HashMap of 100 elements and I would like to create 2 (or more) smaller HashMaps from the original one, the first containing the Entries from 0 to 49, the second containing the Entries from 50 to 99.

Map bigMap = new HashMap ();

//should contains entries from 0 to 49 of 'bigMap'

Map smallMap1 = new HashMap ();

//should contains entries from 50 to 99 of 'bigMap'

Map smallMap2 = new HashMap ();

Any suggestions? Many thanks!

Do you have to use HashMap?

TreeMap is really good for this kind of things. Here's an example.

TreeMap sorted = new TreeMap(bigMap);

SortedMap zeroToFortyNine = sorted.subMap(0, 50);

SortedMap fiftyToNinetyNine = sorted.subMap(50, 100);
