Abstract
Embodiments for a memory efficient perfect hashing for large records. A container ID set is divided into multiple fixed range sizes. These ranges are then mapped into perfect hash buckets until each bucket is filled to uniformly distribute the container IDs across different perfect hash buckets so that the number of CIDs in every perfect hash bucket is the same or nearly the same. Individual perfect hash functions are created for each perfect hash bucket. With container IDs as keys, the process maps n keys to n positions to reduce any extra memory overhead. The perfect hash function is implemented using a compress, hash, displace (CHD) algorithm using two levels of hash functions. The level 1 hash functions divides the keys into multiple internal buckets with a defined average number of keys per bucket. The CHD algorithm iteratively tries different level 2 hash variables to achieve collision-free mapping.
