> Hi everyone,
>
> This effort began as an exploration of replacing the current NMT treap with a red-black tree. Along the way, I discovered that others were also interested in having a general-purpose tree structure available within HotSpot.
>
> The red-black tree is designed to serve as a drop-in replacement for the existing NMT treap, keeping a nearly identical interface. However, I’ve also added a few additional requested features, such as an iterator.
>
> Testing builds off the treap tests, adding a few extra that inserts/removes and checks that the tree is correct. Testing uses the function `verify_self`, which iterates over the tree and checks that all red-black tree properties hold. Additionally, the tree has been tested in vmatree instead of the treap without any errors.

> For those who may want to revisit the fundamentals of red-black trees, [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red%E2%80%93black_tree) offers a great summary with tables covering the various balancing cases. Alternatively, your favorite data structure book could provide even more insight.
