All Known Implementing Classes:

DefaultHashCollectionFactory
```
public interface HashCollectionFactory
```
Factory method to construct HashMaps/HashSets. Implement this interface to allow AuthZForce code to use alternatives to Java native implementations, which alternatives must support:
1. Immutable HashMap/HashSet implementations.
2. Mutable HashMap/HashSet implementations accepting an expected size as constructor parameter.
Ideally, the alternative should support updatable HashMaps/HashSets accepting an expected size as constructor parameter as well.
