Optimizing access patterns for extendible hashing

Oren Eini writes "....I’m continuing to explore the use of extendible hashing and I run into an interesting scenario. The whole point of using a hash table is to reduce the cost of lookups to O(1). When using persistent data structures, the usual cost that we care about..."

Researching a disk based hash table

Oren Eini writes "....There is a specific scenario that I run into that could be really helped by an O(1) lookup cost on a disk persistent data structure. Voron, our storage engine library, is built on top of a whole big pile of B+Trees, which has an O(logN) lookup cost...."
