public interface Hash

Basic data for all hash-based classes.

Historical note

Warning: the following comments are here for historical reasons, and apply just to the double hash classes that can be optionally generated. The standard fastutil distribution since 6.1.0 uses linear-probing hash tables, and tables are always sized as powers of two.

The classes in fastutil are built around open-addressing hashing implemented via double hashing. Following Knuth's suggestions in the third volume of The Art of Computer Programming, we use for the table size a prime p such that p-2 is also prime. In this way hashing is implemented with modulo p, and secondary hashing with modulo p-2.

Entries in a table can be in three states: FREE, OCCUPIED or REMOVED. The naive handling of removed entries requires that you search for a free entry as if they were occupied. However, fastutil implements two useful optimizations, based on the following invariant:

Let i₀, i₁, &hellip, i_p-1 be the permutation of the table indices induced by the key k, that is, i₀ is the hash of k and the following indices are obtained by adding (modulo p) the secondary hash plus one. If there is a OCCUPIED entry with key k, its index in the sequence above comes before the indices of any REMOVED entries with key k.

When we search for the key k we scan the entries in the sequence i₀, i₁, &hellip, i_p-1 and stop when k is found, when we finished the sequence or when we find a FREE entry. Note that the correctness of this procedure it is not completely trivial. Indeed, when we stop at a REMOVED entry with key k we must rely on the invariant to be sure that no OCCUPIED entry with the same key can appear later. If we insert and remove frequently the same entries, this optimization can be very effective (note, however, that when using objects as keys or values deleted entries are set to a special fixed value to optimize garbage collection).

Moreover, during the probe we keep the index of the first REMOVED entry we meet. If we actually have to insert a new element, we use that entry if we can, thus avoiding to pollute another FREE entry. Since this position comes a fortiori before any REMOVED entries with the same key, we are also keeping the invariant true.
