Because linear probing is especially sensitive to unevenly distributed hash values, [7] it is important to combine it with a high-quality hash function that does not produce such irregularities. The analysis above assumes that each key's hash is a random number independent of the hashes of all the other keys.
Hash collision resolved by linear probing (interval=1). Open addressing, or closed hashing, is a method of collision resolution in hash tables.With this method a hash collision is resolved by probing, or searching through alternative locations in the array (the probe sequence) until either the target record is found, or an unused array slot is found, which indicates that there is no such key ...
Linear hashing and spiral hashing are examples of dynamic hash functions that execute in constant time but relax the property of uniformity to achieve the minimal movement property. Extendible hashing uses a dynamic hash function that requires space proportional to n to compute the hash function, and it becomes a function of the previous keys ...
Ordered linear probing [13] (often referred to as Robin Hood hashing [14]) is a technique for reducing the effects of primary clustering on queries. Ordered linear probing sorts the elements within each run by their hash. Thus, a query can terminate as soon as it encounters any element whose hash is larger than that of the element being queried.
K-independent hashing offers a way to prove a certain hash function does not have bad keysets for a given type of hashtable. A number of K-independence results are known for collision resolution schemes such as linear probing and cuckoo hashing.
The double hashing technique uses one hash value as an index into the table and then repeatedly steps forward an interval until the desired value is located, an empty location is reached, or the entire table has been searched; but this interval is set by a second, independent hash function.
In practice, cuckoo hashing is about 20–30% slower than linear probing, which is the fastest of the common approaches. [1] The reason is that cuckoo hashing often causes two cache misses per search, to check the two locations where a key might be stored, while linear probing usually causes only one cache miss per search.
Linear hashing (LH) is a dynamic data structure which implements a hash table and grows or shrinks one bucket at a time. It was invented by Witold Litwin in 1980. [1] [2] It has been analyzed by Baeza-Yates and Soza-Pollman. [3]
