PanakoStrategy query logic Line 280 - printMap overwrites frequency and time values? about panako HOT 1 OPEN

Hi thanks for the suggestion,

The reason for not allowing duplicate hashes is twofold (and is reflected at the storage side, it is essentially the same as #37):

If a hash is common it means (almost by definition) that it does not have much discriminative power. The idea implemented here is that they can be safely ignored.

Another reason is performance: not wasting storage space or computation on hashes with little discriminative power. While some hash collisions are allowed having too many could have an effect on query performance.

However, letting users choose would indeed be a good improvement. For small collections or powerful servers the collisions can perhaps be not that big of a problem. Either using a Set (to avoid duplicates) or an Array (to allow) to store temporary prints could be an idea indeed.
