+/**
+ * This hash table supports updating elements, and it also has
processRecordWithReduce,
+ * which makes one reduce step with the given record.
+ *
+ * The memory is divided into three areas:
+ * - Bucket area: they contain bucket heads:
+ * an 8 byte pointer to the first link of a linked list in the record
area
+ * - Record area: this contains the actual data in linked list elements.
A linked list element starts
+ * with an 8 byte pointer to the next element, and then the record
follows.
+ * - Staging area: This is a small, temporary storage area for writing
updated records. This is needed,
+ * because before serializing a record, there is no way to know in
advance how large will it be.
+ * Therefore, we can't serialize directly into the record area when we
are doing an update, because
+ * if it turns out to be larger then the old record, then it would
override some other record
+ * that happens to be after the old one in memory. The solution is to
serialize to the staging area first,
+ * and then copy it to the place of the original if it has the same
size, otherwise allocate a new linked
+ * list element at the end of the record area, and mark the old one as
abandoned. This creates "holes" in
+ * the record area, so compactions are eventually needed.
+ *
+ * Compaction happens by deleting everything in the bucket area, and then
reinserting all elements.
+ * The reinsertion happens by forgetting the structure (the linked lists)
of the record area, and reading it
+ * sequentially, and inserting all non-abandoned records, starting from
the beginning of the record area.
+ * Note, that insertions never override a record that have not been read
by the reinsertion sweep, because
+ * both the insertions and readings happen sequentially in the record
area, and the insertions obviously
+ * never overtake the reading sweep.
+ *
+ * Note: we have to abandon the old linked list element even when the
updated record has a smaller size
+ * than the original, because otherwise we wouldn't know where the next
record starts during a reinsertion
+ * sweep.
+ *
+ * The number of buckets depends on how large are the records. The
serializer might be able to tell us this,
+ * so in this case, we will calculate the number of buckets upfront, and
won't do resizes.
+ * If the serializer doesn't know the size, then we start with a small
number of buckets, and do resizes as more
+ * elements are inserted than the number of buckets.
+ *
+ * The number of memory segments given to the staging area is usually
one, because it just needs to hold
+ * one record.
+ *
+ * Note: For hashing, we need to use MathUtils.hash because of its
avalanche property, so that
+ * changing only some high bits of the original value shouldn't leave the
lower bits of the hash unaffected.
+ * This is because when choosing the bucket for a record, we mask only the
+ * lower bits (see numBucketsMask). Lots of collisions would occur when,
for example,
+ * the original value that is hashed is some bitset, where lots of
different values
+ * that are different only in the higher bits will actually occur.

> Add hash-based combine strategy for ReduceFunction
> --------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-3477
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-3477
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: Local Runtime
> Reporter: Fabian Hueske
> Assignee: Gabor Gevay
>
> This issue is about adding a hash-based combine strategy for ReduceFunctions.
> The interface of the {{reduce()}} method is as follows:
> {code}
> public T reduce(T v1, T v2)
> {code}
> Input type and output type are identical and the function returns only a
> single value. A Reduce function is incrementally applied to compute a final
> aggregated value. This allows to hold the preaggregated value in a hash-table
> and update it with each function call.
> The hash-based strategy requires special implementation of an in-memory hash
> table. The hash table should support in place updates of elements (if the
> updated value has the same size as the new value) but also appending updates
> with invalidation of the old value (if the binary length of the new value
> differs). The hash table needs to be able to evict and emit all elements if
> it runs out-of-memory.
> We should also add {{HASH}} and {{SORT}} compiler hints to
> {{DataSet.reduce()}} and {{Grouping.reduce()}} to allow users to pick the
> execution strategy.
