Bug Description

Persistit r337

An OutOfMemoryError was encountered and analysis of the (partial) heap dump showed that there were 40M Deltas taking up around 1.3G of memory. Code review showed that each delta inside of a transaction is allocated a unique object, no matter how many there are. In the scenario of a long running transaction that does many Accumulator updates, growth from Deltas is essentially unbounded.

A simple solution would be to combine Deltas that are from the same transaction, accumulator, and step into a single value.
