  ariba.util.core.ThreadNameAbbreviation

public class ThreadNameAbbreviation
extends Object

Maintain short names for threads. The short names are abbreviations used in the log to name threads. For Hashthreads, the short name is stored in a field of the Hashthread. Names for other threads are kept in a table indexed by the thread's hash code. The first time a short name is requested, it is returned as "=". This assumes that the hashcodes of different threads are unlikely to be the same. Perhaps we should also check the name when using the hashcode. We should periodically clean out the table.
