  1. Hash-based Indexes CS 186, Spring 2006 Lecture 7 R &G Chapter 11 HASH, x. There is no definition for this word -- nobody knows what hash is. Ambrose Bierce, "The Devil's Dictionary", 1911

  2. Introduction • As for any index, 3 alternatives for data entries k*: • Data record with key value k • <k, rid of data record with search key value k> • <k, list of rids of data records with search key k> • Choice orthogonal to the indexing technique • Hash-based indexes are best for equalityselections. Cannot support range searches. • Static and dynamic hashing techniques exist; trade-offs similar to ISAM vs. B+ trees.

  3. Static Hashing • # primary pages fixed, allocated sequentially, never de-allocated; overflow pages if needed. • h(k) MOD N= bucket to which data entry withkey k belongs. (N = # of buckets) 0 h(key) mod N 1 key h N-1 Primary bucket pages Overflow pages

  4. Static Hashing (Contd.) • Buckets contain data entries. • Hash fn works on search key field of record r. Use its value MOD N to distribute values over range 0 ... N-1. • h(key) = (a * key + b) usually works well. • a and b are constants; lots known about how to tune h. • Long overflow chains can develop and degrade performance. • Extendible and LinearHashing: Dynamic techniques to fix this problem.

  5. Extendible Hashing • Situation: Bucket (primary page) becomes full. Why not re-organize file by doubling # of buckets? • Reading and writing all pages is expensive! • Idea: Use directory of pointers to buckets, double # of buckets by doubling the directory, splitting just the bucket that overflowed! • Directory much smaller than file, so doubling it is much cheaper. Only one page of data entries is split. Nooverflowpage! • Trick lies in how hash function is adjusted!

  6. Example • Directory is array of size 4. • Bucket for record r has entry with index = `global depth’ least significant bits of h(r); • If h(r) = 5 = binary 101, it is in bucket pointed to by 01. • If h(r) = 7 = binary 111, it is in bucket pointed to by 11. 2 LOCAL DEPTH Bucket A 16* 4* 12* 32* GLOBAL DEPTH 2 1 Bucket B 00 5* 1* 7* 13* 01 2 10 Bucket C 10* 11 • we denote r by h(r). DIRECTORY

  7. Handling Inserts • Find bucket where record belongs. • If there’s room, put it there. • Else, if bucket is full, splitit: • increment local depth of original page • allocate new page with new local depth • re-distribute records from original page. • add entry for the new page to the directory

  8. 2 16* 4* 12* 32* 2 Bucket D Example: Insert 21, then 19, 15 • 21 = 10101 • 19 = 10011 • 15 = 01111 LOCAL DEPTH Bucket A GLOBAL DEPTH 2 2 1 Bucket B 00 5* 1* 7* 13* 21* 01 2 10 Bucket C 10* 11 DIRECTORY 19* 15* 7* • we denote r by h(r). DATA PAGES

  9. 3 3 LOCAL DEPTH 16* 32* 32* 16* GLOBAL DEPTH 3 2 2 16* 4* 12* 32* 1* 5* 21* 13* 000 Bucket B 001 2 010 10* 011 100 2 101 15* 7* 19* Bucket D 110 111 3 3 Bucket A2 4* 12* 20* 12* 20* Bucket A2 4* (`split image' of Bucket A) (`split image' Insert h(r)=20 (Causes Doubling) LOCAL DEPTH Bucket A Bucket A GLOBAL DEPTH 2 2 Bucket B 5* 21* 13* 1* 00 01 2 10 10* 11 Bucket C Bucket C 2 Bucket D 15* 7* 19* of Bucket A)

  10. Points to Note • 20 = binary 10100. Last 2 bits (00) tell us r belongs in either A or A2. Last 3 bits needed to tell which. • Global depth of directory: Max # of bits needed to tell which bucket an entry belongs to. • Local depth of a bucket: # of bits used to determine if an entry belongs to this bucket. • When does bucket split cause directory doubling? • Before insert, local depth of bucket = global depth. Insert causes local depth to become > global depth; directory is doubled by copying it over and `fixing’ pointer to split image page.

  12. Comments on Extendible Hashing • If directory fits in memory, equality search answered with one disk access; else two. • 100MB file, 100 bytes/rec, 4K pages contains 1,000,000 records (as data entries) and 25,000 directory elements; chances are high that directory will fit in memory. • Directory grows in spurts, and, if the distribution of hash values is skewed, directory can grow large. • Multiple entries with same hash value cause problems! • Delete: If removal of data entry makes bucket empty, can be merged with `split image’. If each directory element points to same bucket as its split image, can halve directory.

  13. Administrivia - Exam Schedule Change • Exam 1 will be held in class on Tues 2/21 (not on the previous thurs as originally scheduled). • Exam 2 will remain as scheduled Thurs 3/23 (unless you want to do it over spring break!!!).

  14. Linear Hashing • A dynamic hashing scheme that handles the problem of long overflow chains without using a directory. • Directory avoided in LH by using temporary overflow pages, and choosing the bucket to split in a round-robin fashion. • When any bucket overflows split the bucket that is currently pointed to by the “Next” pointer and then increment that pointer to the next bucket.

  15. Linear Hashing – The Main Idea • Use a family of hash functions h0, h1, h2, ... • hi(key) = h(key) mod(2iN) • N = initial # buckets • h is some hash function • hi+1 doubles the range of hi (similar to directory doubling)

  16. Linear Hashing (Contd.) • Algorithm proceeds in `rounds’. Current round number is “Level”. • There are NLevel (= N * 2Level) buckets at the beginning of a round • Buckets 0 to Next-1 have been split; Next to NLevelhavenot been split yet this round. • Round ends when allinitial buckets have been split (i.e. Next = NLevel). • To start next round: Level++; Next = 0;

  17. LH Search Algorithm • To find bucket for data entry r, findhLevel(r): • If hLevel(r) >= Next (i.e., hLevel(r) is a bucket that hasn’t been involved in a split this round)then r belongs in that bucket for sure. • Else, r could belong to bucket hLevel(r)or bucket hLevel(r) + NLevelmust apply hLevel+1(r) to find out.

  19. Linear Hashing - Insert • Find appropriate bucket • If bucket to insert into is full: • Add overflow page and insert data entry. • Split Nextbucket and increment Next. • Note: This is likely NOT the bucket being inserted to!!! • to split a bucket, create a new bucket and use hLevel+1 to re-distribute entries. • Since buckets are split round-robin, long overflow chains don’t develop!

  23. Summary • Hash-based indexes: best for equality searches, cannot support range searches. • Static Hashing can lead to long overflow chains. • Extendible Hashing avoids overflow pages by splitting a full bucket when a new data entry is to be added to it. (Duplicates may require overflow pages.) • Directory to keep track of buckets, doubles periodically. • Can get large with skewed data; additional I/O if this does not fit in main memory.

  24. Summary (Contd.) • Linear Hashing avoids directory by splitting buckets round-robin, and using overflow pages. • Overflow pages not likely to be long. • Space utilization could be lower than Extendible Hashing, since splits not concentrated on `dense’ data areas. • Can tune criterion for triggering splits to trade-off slightly longer chains for better space utilization. • For hash-based indexes, a skewed data distribution is one in which the hash values of data entries are not uniformly distributed!

  25. Administrivia - Exam Schedule Change • Exam 1 will be held in class on Tues 2/21 (not on the previous thurs as originally scheduled). • Exam 2 will remain as scheduled Thurs 3/23 (unless you want to do it over spring break!!!).
