JDK-6610955 - SymbolTable and StringTable bucket arrays are probably too small
Description
HashTables lookup API needs refactoring

"lookup" and "lookup_only" in SymbolTable (and StringTable well?) could be renamed to make reading the code easier:

currently there are lookup and lookup_only, which should be refactored into lookup, lookup_and_add, lookup_only_and_hash
Comments
These API's have been stable a long time, not worth the risk. Closing as WNF.
