7  * DOC:

9  * Hash table implementation of a map from integers to pointers, implemented using the Hopscotch
10  * Hashing algorithm by Herlihy, Shavit, and Tzafrir (see
11  * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hopscotch_hashing). This implementation does not contain any of the
12  * locking/concurrency features of the algorithm, just the collision resolution scheme.
13  *
14  * Hopscotch Hashing is based on hashing with open addressing and linear probing. All the entries
15  * are stored in a fixed array of buckets, with no dynamic allocation for collisions. Unlike linear
16  * probing, all the entries that hash to a given bucket are stored within a fixed neighborhood
17  * starting at that bucket. Chaining is effectively represented as a bit vector relative to each
18  * bucket instead of as pointers or explicit offsets.
19  *
20  * When an empty bucket cannot be found within a given neighborhood, subsequent neighborhoods are
21  * searched, and one or more entries will "hop" into those neighborhoods. When this process works,
22  * an empty bucket will move into the desired neighborhood, allowing the entry to be added. When
23  * that process fails (typically when the buckets are around 90% full), the table must be resized
24  * and the all entries rehashed and added to the expanded table.
25  *
26  * Unlike linear probing, the number of buckets that must be searched in the worst case has a fixed
27  * upper bound (the size of the neighborhood). Those entries occupy a small number of memory cache
28  * lines, leading to improved use of the cache (fewer misses on both successful and unsuccessful
29  * searches). Hopscotch hashing outperforms linear probing at much higher load factors, so even
30  * with the increased memory burden for maintaining the hop vectors, less memory is needed to
31  * achieve that performance. Hopscotch is also immune to "contamination" from deleting entries
32  * since entries are genuinely removed instead of being replaced by a placeholder.
33  *
34  * The published description of the algorithm used a bit vector, but the paper alludes to an offset
35  * scheme which is used by this implementation. Since the entries in the neighborhood are within N
36  * entries of the hash bucket at the start of the neighborhood, a pair of small offset fields each
37  * log2(N) bits wide is all that's needed to maintain the hops as a linked list. In order to encode
38  * "no next hop" (i.e. NULL) as the natural initial value of zero, the offsets are biased by one
39  * (i.e. 0 => NULL, 1 => offset=0, 2 => offset=1, etc.) We can represent neighborhoods of up to 255
40  * entries with just 8+8=16 bits per entry. The hop list is sorted by hop offset so the first entry
41  * in the list is always the bucket closest to the start of the neighborhood.
42  *
43  * While individual accesses tend to be very fast, the table resize operations are very, very
44  * expensive. If an upper bound on the latency of adding an entry to the table is needed, we either
45  * need to ensure the table is pre-sized to be large enough so no resize is ever needed, or we'll
46  * need to develop an approach to incrementally resize the table.
