Popis: Linear Hashing is an important algorithm for many key-value stores in main memory. Spiral Storage was invented to overcome the poor fringe behavior of Linear Hashing, but after an influential study by Larson, it seems to have been discarded. Since almost 50 years have passed, we repeat Larson’s comparison with the in-memory implementation of both to see whether his verdict still stands. Our study shows that Spiral Storage has slightly better lookup performance but slightly poorer insert performance. However, Spiral Hashing has more predictable performance for inserts and, in particular, better fringe behavior.
