BucketMaps shine when high concurrency is an issue like in web environments.
It is what backs the ECM and Fortress.
BucketMaps are static in size, but the nodes are added when necessary.
During the transfer of ownership for the BucketMap to commons we found a
bug in the hashcode lookup. As the fix, I suggest upgrading to the commons
version (in CVS). The Excalibur code will be upgraded ASAP.
