Yes, it's blocking. Blocks on all writes. And I found that out by just looking at the code. I don't know any other way to find it out if that is not specified in the docs.

If only that "but thread safe" was a simple annotation you put on a class, and boom - it magically becomes thread safe))) But it's not. And the main part of the story is that there many different ways to make it thread safe. CopyOnWrite principle is one of such ways, but it's not the only one. And it works differently from let's say Collections.SynchronizedList.

Right. You can say the same that Collections.SynchronizedMap and ConcurrentHashMap are both maps but thread safe. Both designed to be thread safe. But they behave very differently in terms of performance and some specific behavior when you use them. And that's exactly what original question was about. It was not whether it's thread safe or not. But it was about how it behaves.
