Abstract
Disclosed are various embodiments for improving hash table utilization. A key corresponding to a data item to be inserted into a hash table can be transformed to improve the entropy of the key space and the resultant hash codes that can generated. Transformation data can be inserted into the key in various ways, which can result in a greater degree of variance in the resultant hash code calculated based upon the transformed key.
