Remarks
Hash Table capacity is the number of pre-allocated bucket. Its number is than used for hash value algorithm calculation.
It is a good choice to allocate a capacity double the number of expected key/data pairs in order to have as less as possible hash value conflicts.
Changing the Hash Table capacity recalculates all internal hash values of key/data pairs.
