021/**
022 * Defines an iterator that operates over a <code>Map</code>.
023 * <p>
024 * This iterator is a special version designed for maps. It can be more
025 * efficient to use this rather than an entry set iterator where the option
026 * is available, and it is certainly more convenient.
027 * </p>
028 * <p>
029 * A map that provides this interface may not hold the data internally using
030 * Map Entry objects, thus this interface can avoid lots of object creation.
031 * </p>
032 * <p>
033 * In use, this iterator iterates through the keys in the map. After each call
034 * to <code>next()</code>, the <code>getValue()</code> method provides direct
035 * access to the value. The value can also be set using <code>setValue()</code>.
036 * </p>
037 * <pre>{@code
038 * MapIterator<String,Integer> it = map.mapIterator();
039 * while (it.hasNext()) {
040 *   String key = it.next();
041 *   Integer value = it.getValue();
042 *   it.setValue(value + 1);
043 * }
044 * }</pre>

046 * @param <K> the type of the keys in the map
