> At my day job, we use ConstantValuesSource to represent default values or a constant query-level feature by calling *_DoubleValuesSource.constant_*. I realized under the hood the _*ConstantValuesSource.getDoubleValues*_ creates a new _*DoubleValues*_ which simply return the specified value each time it is called. 
> Unless I missed something, I don't see a risk of creating one _*DoubleValues*_ as use it as the return value of all _*getDoubleValues**()*_ calls given that the constant _*DoubleValues*_ doesn't maintain any state.
> We can also offer the user flexibilities of how to initialize it. 
> 1) _*DoubleValuesSource.constant(double constant)*_ – we can eagerly initialize an `DoubleValues` that returns the constant and make it the return value of all _*getDoubleValues()*_ calls.
> 2) _*DoubleValuesSource.constant(DoubleSupplier doubleSupplier)*_  – For lazy evaluation if the constant takes some time to compute and user expects the returned DVS will not be used in all code path.
