Is there a TODO anywhere in this discussion? If so, please let me know.
There are a couple:
- consider changing hash indexes to keep the entries in a hash bucket sorted, to allow a binary search rather than a linear scan
- consider changing hash indexes to store each key's hash value in addition to or instead of the key value.
You should probably include a pointer to this discussion as well.
(I'd like to take a look at implementing these if I get a chance.)
