In Java, at the client side, what structure/form(like Collections, HashTable, XML,...) should be used to store and manipulate the huge data(i.e., more than 50,000 records) that was dowloaded to the client from the server?
What best suits the effective performance and easy manipulation, while and after downloading?
How the best differ from the others in several aspects?
Are there other form of doing easy manipulation on such a huge amount of records?
Currently, the client is designed with Swings.
Anyone out there give some suggestions over this.

I would be really tempted to grab the whole thing as a monster byte[] rather than trying to keep up with building a collection of any kind on the fly. Resizing a collection could get pretty slow and you might have memory problems.
Can you predetermine the total size or some upper limit so as to let the client allocate enough space right at the start?

With my personal experience anything to deal with more than couple of thousand records will be a mess on the client side.
May be prepare a hash on the entire result set and access a chunk of them as needed.(like 1-500, 500-1000).

I don't think this question can be reasonably answered without knowing what you need to do with all the data on the client side...
