[ltt-dev] [PATCH 05/10 round10] add max_size arguemnt

arguemnt -> argument

I think we need to discuss the semantic of max_size: here, you propose
that max_size is just the number of buckets, but it does not limit the
ability of the table to contain more elements than max_size.

IMHO, it would be nice to have max_size limit the number of elements
that the table can accept, e.g. ensuring that insertion fails if the
number of elements gets over the max_size threshold. It might not need
to be an exact thing though, just giving an approximated upper limit
might be fine (using the split-counters), as long as it is documented.

Thanks,

Mathieu
