java的hashtable、scala的hashtable都是线程安全的吗？

HashTable.java的源代码描述如下：

 * Java Collections Framework</a>.  Unlike the new collection
 * implementations, {@code Hashtable} is synchronized.  If a
 * thread-safe implementation is not needed, it is recommended to use
 * {@link HashMap} in place of {@code Hashtable}.  If a thread-safe
 * highly-concurrent implementation is desired, then it is recommended
 * to use {@link java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentHashMap} in place of
 * {@code Hashtable}.

源代码中用到了synchronized字眼：

下面是存的代码：

   public synchronized V put(K key, V value) {
        // Make sure the value is not null
        if (value == null) {
            throw new NullPointerException();
        }

        // Makes sure the key is not already in the hashtable.
        Entry<?,?> tab[] = table;
        int hash = key.hashCode();
        int index = (hash & 0x7FFFFFFF) % tab.length;
        @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
        Entry<K,V> entry = (Entry<K,V>)tab[index];
        for(; entry != null ; entry = entry.next) {
            if ((entry.hash == hash) && entry.key.equals(key)) {
                V old = entry.value;
                entry.value = value;
                return old;
            }
        }

        addEntry(hash, key, value, index);
        return null;
    }

还有取得代码：

   public synchronized V get(Object key) {
        Entry<?,?> tab[] = table;
        int hash = key.hashCode();
        int index = (hash & 0x7FFFFFFF) % tab.length;
        for (Entry<?,?> e = tab[index] ; e != null ; e = e.next) {
            if ((e.hash == hash) && e.key.equals(key)) {
                return (V)e.value;
            }
        }
        return null;
    }

hashtable.scala的代码如下：

/** This class can be used to construct data structures that are based
 *  on hashtables. Class `HashTable[A]` implements a hashtable
 *  that maps keys of type `A` to values of the fully abstract
 *  member type `Entry`. Classes that make use of `HashTable`
 *  have to provide an implementation for `Entry`.
 *
 *  There are mainly two parameters that affect the performance of a hashtable:
 *  the <i>initial size</i> and the <i>load factor</i>. The <i>size</i>
 *  refers to the number of <i>buckets</i> in the hashtable, and the <i>load
 *  factor</i> is a measure of how full the hashtable is allowed to get before
 *  its size is automatically doubled. Both parameters may be changed by
 *  overriding the corresponding values in class `HashTable`.

看见没有任何字眼，或许scala设计来就是搞分布式的，而不是在单机多线程里运行的？

待验证……
