I don't particularly want to either, but I'm worried you're putting too
much faith in CHMs.  They do NOT lock for retrieval.  They are only
guaranteed to not show results mid-put and (the important benefit)
provide "weakly consistent" iteration:

'The view's iterator is a "weakly consistent" iterator that will never
throw ConcurrentModificationException, and guarantees to traverse
elements as they existed upon construction of the iterator, and may
(but is not guaranteed to) reflect any modifications subsequent to
construction.'
