Optimizing iterating over a group with 140000 entries

Part of user's messages from [HELP-2606](https://hdfgroup.atlassian.net/issues/HELP-2606):

> ...as I am investigating parameters on how to optimize the metadata cache, I discovered the following issue:
> When setting the initial MDC size to the maximum allowed value
>
> ```
>mdc_config.initial_size = 32*1024*1024;
> mdc_config.max_size = 32*1024*1024;
> mdc_config.min_size = 1024*1024;
>```

then I got HDF5 errors during file creation:
```

This error vanishes when setting the initial MDC size to a smaller value such as mdc_config.initial_size = 16*1024*1024;

Is this a known issue fixed in a more recent version? Would you like me to explore this issue further? At the moment I think I can reproduce it and investigate with other values or code modifications per your recommendations.
