public static <R,C,V> Table.Cell<R,C,V> immutableCell(@Nullable R rowKey, @Nullable C columnKey, @Nullable V value)
Returns an immutable cell with the specified row key, column key, and value.
The returned cell is serializable.

Creates a transposed view of a given table that flips its row and column keys. In other words, calling get(columnKey, rowKey) on the generated table always returns the same value as calling get(rowKey, columnKey) on the original table. Updating the original table changes the contents of the transposed table and vice versa.
The returned table supports update operations as long as the input table supports the analogous operation with swapped rows and columns. For example, in a HashBasedTable instance, rowKeySet().iterator() supports remove() but columnKeySet().iterator() doesn’t. With a transposed HashBasedTable, it’s the other way around.
@Beta public static <R,C,V> Table<R,C,V> newCustomTable(Map<R,Map<C,V>> backingMap, Supplier<? extends Map<C,V>> factory)
Creates a table that uses the specified backing map and factory. It can generate a table based on arbitrary Map classes.
The factory-generated and backingMap classes determine the table iteration order. However, the table’s row() method returns instances of a different class than factory.get() does.
Call this method only when the simpler factory methods in classes like HashBasedTable and TreeBasedTable won’t suffice.
The views returned by the Table methods Table.column(C), Table.columnKeySet(), and Table.columnMap() have iterators that don’t support remove(). Otherwise, all optional operations are supported. Null row keys, columns keys, and values are not supported.
Lookups by row key are often faster than lookups by column key, because the data is stored in a Map<R, Map<C, V>>. A method call like column(columnKey).get(rowKey) still runs quickly, since the row key is provided. However, column(columnKey).size() takes longer, since an iteration across all row keys occurs.
Note that this implementation is not synchronized. If multiple threads access this table concurrently and one of the threads modifies the table, it must be synchronized externally.
The table is serializable if backingMap, factory, the maps generated by factory, and the table contents are all serializable.
Note: the table assumes complete ownership over of backingMap and the maps returned by factory. Those objects should not be manually updated and they should not use soft, weak, or phantom references.

Returns a view of a table where each value is transformed by a function. All other properties of the table, such as iteration order, are left intact.
Changes in the underlying table are reflected in this view. Conversely, this view supports removal operations, and these are reflected in the underlying table.
It’s acceptable for the underlying table to contain null keys, and even null values provided that the function is capable of accepting null input. The transformed table might contain null values, if the function sometimes gives a null result.
The returned table is not thread-safe or serializable, even if the underlying table is.
The function is applied lazily, invoked when needed. This is necessary for the returned table to be a view, but it means that the function will be applied many times for bulk operations like Table.containsValue(java.lang.Object) and Table.toString(). For this to perform well, function should be fast. To avoid lazy evaluation when the returned table doesn’t need to be a view, copy the returned table into a new table of your choosing.
public static <R,C,V> Table<R,C,V> unmodifiableTable(Table<? extends R,? extends C,? extends V> table)
Returns an unmodifiable view of the specified table. This method allows modules to provide users with “read-only” access to internal tables. Query operations on the returned table “read through” to the specified table, and attempts to modify the returned table, whether direct or via its collection views, result in an UnsupportedOperationException.
The returned table will be serializable if the specified table is serializable.
Consider using an ImmutableTable, which is guaranteed never to change.

Returns an unmodifiable view of the specified row-sorted table. This method allows modules to provide users with “read-only” access to internal tables. Query operations on the returned table “read through” to the specified table, and attemps to modify the returned table, whether direct or via its collection views, result in an UnsupportedOperationException.
The returned table will be serializable if the specified table is serializable.
