This is neat! I always wondered if there would be a way to 'containerize' tables like this. IE a regular table is like a bulk carrier ship, with everything stuffed into it. If you could better organize it like a container ship, you could carry much more stuff more efficiently (and offload it faster too!)


Easy stuff.

Convert table row to a string, json to whatever

Apply base16 to the that variable

You've now got a base16 string of that data.

Create a hash table, setup a key value for that base16 string.

You now have a container holding the data.

All you need to do is decode the hex string and you've got base32 data.


What you just described is magnitudes slower than even conventional hash tables


I'd like to see your solution.


My solution would be a conventional hash table. Now, I will consider using the solution defined in the paper.


Yeah? Not for me. I prefer my way of things. More fun and learning.
