Yueh-Hsuan Chiang 9d9d2965cb Add a new mem-table representation based on cuckoo hash. ... Summary: = Major Changes = * Add a new mem-table representation, HashCuckooRep, which is based cuckoo hash. Cuckoo hash uses multiple hash functions. This allows each key to have multiple possible locations in the mem-table. - Put: When insert a key, it will try to find whether one of its possible locations is vacant and store the key. If none of its possible locations are available, then it will kick out a victim key and store at that location. The kicked-out victim key will then be stored at a vacant space of its possible locations or kick-out another victim. In this diff, the kick-out path (known as cuckoo-path) is found using BFS, which guarantees to be the shortest. - Get: Simply tries all possible locations of a key --- this guarantees worst-case constant time complexity. - Time complexity: O(1) for Get, and average O(1) for Put if the fullness of the mem-table is below 80%. - Default using two hash functions, the number of hash functions used by the cuckoo-hash may dynamically increase if it fails to find a short-enough kick-out path. - Currently, HashCuckooRep does not support iteration and snapshots, as our current main purpose of this is to optimize point access. = Minor Changes = * Add IsSnapshotSupported() to DB to indicate whether the current DB supports snapshots. If it returns false, then DB::GetSnapshot() will always return nullptr. Test Plan: Run existing tests. Will develop a test specifically for cuckoo hash in the next diff.
