They are legacy constants, they were cabled on code, I simply introduced two constants. I think that the DEFAULT_LOAD_FACTOR is the same stuff defined on the HashMap, it represents a default threshold of 75%, after that threshold it should expand the size of the map. The DEFAULT_INITIAL_CAPACITY is the initial size of the map, there is no need of primitive, odd, or whatever (though they usually are power of 2), I think that the original developers found out that 101 was the right trade-off. I was thinking to replace the current value with 16 (like the HashMap value), but I realized that the class is unused since it was replaced with new cache approach.
