I found the following link to be very helpful

Yes, this is a good place to look. One thing that isn't on that page
yet is berkeley_hash and berkeley_hash_nosync. These use hash tables
instead of btrees. They have the same properties and use cases, but the
hash table versions seem to have solved some locking issues that we were
seeing at CMU.
