> opennlp.tools.ml.model.IndexHashTable is custom-made Hashtable that is used to store mapping index. This Hashtable is heavily used in openlp.tools.ml.* (i.e. every model) and leads to disastrous performance.
> This hashtable is probably legacy some legacy and is highly inefficient. A simple drop-in replacement by a java.util.HashMap wrapper solves the issue, doesn't break compatibility and does not add any dependency.
> Training a pos-tagger on a large dataset with custom tags, I see a factor 5 improvement. It also seems to improve all ML models training pipeline.
> See : https://github.com/jsubercaze/opennlp/blob/trunk/opennlp-tools/src/main/java/opennlp/tools/ml/model/IndexHashTable.java
> For a quick fix.
