--------------------------------------
To cross reference the Equinox bug
(https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=464084) that is being used to
update to the latest felix resolver with this fix.
> Improve memory usage and speed of the resolver
> ----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FELIX-4656
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-4656
> Project: Felix
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Resolver
> Reporter: Guillaume Nodet
> Assignee: Guillaume Nodet
> Fix For: resolver-1.2.0
>
>
> During big resolutions (> 100 bundles), the memory consumption can become
> very huge, mostly by keeping a lot of copies of the Candidates object.
> I want to lower the memory requirements of the resolver without touching the
> algorithm at all (which would be a different improvement).
> This can be done by using :
> * lower memory intensive collections
> * do smart copies of those collections (where they would only actually copy
> the data when modify)
> The second item is slightly more difficult to achieve, as the maps in the
> Candidate objects contains Set and List, which would mean that those must be
> copied too. So it could actually be complementary, if achievable.
> For the first one, the HashMap and HashSet are very memory intensive. I'll
> introduce two new collections which will lower the requirements.
