If I remember correctly Berkeley DB uses an extensible hashing system or did at one time. This is not part of the OS API, but rather a library that runs in user space.
I've used the B-tree parts of Berkeley DB, though never the hash table. Performance and reliability have been extremely good in a product that's running 24x7 on a server in 6 instances for 8 years now. Never a hiccup. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Algorithm Geeks" group. To post to this group, send email to algogeeks@googlegroups.com.
