Had to disable java.modularity.inferModulePath, because JUnit
was put on the module path and didn't want to start (class not
found). Probably because I didn't have a module-info.java.
Methods for finding keys in the map would iterate over all keys
when the key did not exist.
Fixed by introducing a new sentinel value (-1) that is used to
mark slots that were previously occupied.
the heap refill code was recursively implemented with two methods.
I merged both methods.
replace recursion in heap refill method with iterative approach
use array for list of LongQueue
This way there is no precondition when accessing the elements
In many use cases it is more efficient to have a getter that returns
a default value instead of throwing an exception. The exception forces
every consumer to call containsKey() before calling get(). In cases
where the consumer wants to use a default value this is unnecessary.
Using the unsafe versions of add/get to improve performance.
Here are some numbers for 2^15 intersections of two random
sorted lists with 16k elements. The numbers were gathered with
perf stat -d -d -d --delay 2000 java -ea -cp bin/test:bin/main

Added getUnsafe and addUnsafe, two methods that skip checks.
The checks are not needed in unionSorted, because we made
sure the code works correctly. getUnsafe still has the checks,
but as assertions.
The speedup is roughly 20%. Here are some results for calling
union 2^16 times for two random sorted lists with 16k
elements:
