even hash tables sizes, FAQ entry

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The FAQ says
 
"Please note that due to the nature of the current hashing algorithm, an even hash bucket count (and esp. values of the power of two) are a bad choice."

Is this still true? What is the reason for this? And: Does
any odd hashtable size work as well as other odd hash tables sizes
in the same order of magnitude?
