This is a proposal to deprecate existing Hash Index and deprecate the
create hash index apis.
Currently the Hash Index name causes confusion. It is not a traditional
hash look up index, but more of memory savings index. The index does
not
store index keys in memory and must hash the keys every time. The
index
synchronizes on a backing array and when the backing array needs to be
expanded, it currently needs to rehash all elements in the array. This
can
be very problematic for larger data sets.
There were improvements made to one of the functional indexes (compact
range index) prior to open sourcing. These improvements helped reduce
the
memory consumption of that index and makes it very similar sized to a
hash
index, but the keys still are stored in memory. Probably close enough
to
be a replacement for the hash index in most cases. The read/write
performance on it is also faster than the hash index.
If anyone has any objections, please let us know and why.
Thanks,
