> The various AbstractHashedMap implementations do not compensate for scenario's where many values map to the same hash bucket.
> This means these collections are not suitable for situations where untrusted users can add values for arbitrary keys, as they could cause disproportionate resource usage.
> This is not necessarily a problem, but it would be good to document this in the API docs.
