Encyclopedia > Extendible hashing

Extendible hashing is a type of hash system which treats a hash as a bit string, and uses a trie for bucket lookup. Because of the hierarchal 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 rehashes. A trie for keys to, tea, ten, i, in, and inn. In computer science, a trie, or prefix tree, is an ordered tree data structure that is used to store an associative array where the keys are strings. ...

Summary of the "C" language (1190 words)
During the reorganization, the file must be temporarily stored as a sequential file, the hashing algorithms and the implementation programs changed to reflect the new file size, the new file area initialized, and the data then processed through the new hashing algorithm to populate the new area.
Extendible hashing (definition): a hash table in which the hash function is the last few bits of the key and the table refers to buckets.
The appeal of extendible hashing is that it can support 7 by 24 operations by not needing maintenance downtime that static hashing may require.
Extendible Hashing (500 words)
The purpose of this program is to implement a hashing algorithm that extends the size of the indexed table (always with a “bucket” that can hold 16 records).
P where the single character of upper-case ‘p’ will result in the output of the current table, listing the “prefix” address of each “bucket, and the contents of the eight “slots” in each bucket, including both the hash number, in binary, and the key value in alphabetic.
Hash function: The hash function will simply use the offset values of the lower case alphabetic characters in the character sequence, ‘a’ being value 1, ‘b’ being value 2, and so on.
