Abstract
Techniques performed by a computing device of storing data in a data storage system are provided. A method includes (a) storing references to write commands within entries of a first chained hash table (CHT), the first CHT being pointed to by a first data structure representative of a logical disk; (b) keeping track of a load factor of the first CHT during operation; and (c) in response to determining that the load factor of the first CHT has transitioned outside of predetermined bounds: (1) creating a second CHT and a second data structure representative of the logical disk, the second CHT being pointed to by the second data structure; (2) linking the second data structure to the first data structure via a linked list; and (3) storing references to new write commands directed at the logical disk within entries of the second CHT rather than the first CHT.
