Extendible hashing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Extendible hashing is a type of hash system which treats a hash as a bit string, and uses a trie for bucket lookup.[1] Because of the hierarchical nature of the system, re-hashing is an incremental operation (done one bucket at a time, as needed). This means that time-sensitive applications are less affected by table growth than by standard full-table rehasheRead full article from Extendible hashing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
