initial size for a Java hash table (HashMap, HashSet, etc.) given an expected maximum number of elements. The optimum size is the smallest size that's guaranteed not to result in any rehash / table-resize operations. Example Usage: Map<String, Object> hash = new HashMap<String, Object>(Utils.optimumHashSize(expectedMaxElements)); I think we're paying way too heavy a price in unnecessary rehash operations across the GATK. If you don't specify an initial size, you get a table of size 16 that gets completely rehashed and doubles in size every time it becomes 75% full. This means you do at least twice as much work as you need to in order to populate your table: (n + n/2 + n/4 + ... 16 ~= (1 + 1/2 + 1/4...) * n ~= 2 * n |
