Linear probing is a component of open addressing schemes for using a hash table to solve the dictionary problem.In the dictionary problem, a data structure should maintain a collection of key–value pairs subject to operations that insert or delete pairs from the collection or that search for the value associated with a given key.
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 ...
Hopscotch hashing is an open addressing based algorithm which combines the elements of cuckoo hashing, linear probing and chaining through the notion of a neighbourhood of buckets—the subsequent buckets around any given occupied bucket, also called a "virtual" bucket.
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.
If a hash collision occurs, the table will be probed to move the record to an alternate cell that is stated as empty. There are different types of probing that take place when a hash collision happens and this method is implemented. Some types of probing are linear probing, double hashing, and quadratic probing.

Hopscotch hashing. Here, H is 4. Gray entries are occupied. In part (a), the item x is added with a hash value of 6. A linear probe finds that entry 13 is empty. Because 13 is more than 4 entries away from 6, the algorithm looks for an earlier entry to swap with 13. The first place to look in is H−1 = 3 entries before, at entry 10.
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.
Double hashing is a computer programming technique used in conjunction with open addressing in hash tables to resolve hash collisions, by using a secondary hash of the key as an offset when a collision occurs. Double hashing with open addressing is a classical data structure on a table .
