Possible bug for large read/write operations ?

Hi and thank you for making this data structure.

I am writing a java server and have some memory issues. So I wanted to use compactHashMaps. I tested the code with both compactHashMap and normal java HashMap and it seems like the compactHashmap makes my code get an out of memory exception before the original HashMap.

I am running on a ubuntu machine and my java version is java 8. The code is fairly simple and I simply change the type of the data from hashMap for compacyHashMap (mostly just in the declarations) since the methods seem to be similar. I can provide the code if further information was required.

Thank you

Well, it might indeed run out of memory if the keys have infinite cardinality.

Are the shapes of your maps consistent? Are you using auto-generated keys (e.g. timestamps or something like id1231454321)?
