> Currently, in DefaultTuple, we estimate the memory footprint for string as if it is char array. The formula we use is:  length * 2 + 12. It turns out we underestimate the memory usage for string. Here is a list of real memory footprint for string we get from memory dump:
> | length of string | memory in bytes |
> | 7 | 56 |
> | 3 | 48 |
> | 1 | 40 |
> I did a search and find the following formula can accurately estimate the memory footprint for string:
> {code}
> 8 * (int) (((length * 2) + 45) / 8) 
> {code}
