HashMap的容量为什么一定要是2的n次方

HashMap的容量关键代码，由此可知，初始化容量是16，扩容的时候

newThr = oldThr << 1，当HashMap需要扩容时，它的大小会增加到大于当前容量的最小2的幂，例如，如果当前容量是16，则下一个容量是32，再下一个是64，以此类推。

空间利用效率：‌也就是原来的空间N，扩容后变为了N*2，每个桶的大小变成了原来的两倍，数据均匀分布

减少hash冲突：如果容量不是2的N次方，计算哈希值时可能需要取模操作，这会增加哈希冲突的可能性。

提高扩容速度：扩容时如果不是2的N次方，重算计算所有桶的哈希值并重新分配元素的过程会非常耗时。而当时2的N次方时，重新计算哈希值的过程可以通过位运算快速完成。

扩容后旧数据中的数据转移到新数组的规则。根据e.hash & oldCap)

do {
                            next = e.next;
                            if ((e.hash & oldCap) == 0) {
                                if (loTail == null)
                                    loHead = e;
                                else
                                    loTail.next = e;
                                loTail = e;
                            }
                            else {
