Abstract
The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for providing a bucket skiplist. In one example, a method comprises identifying a value to be searched for within a skiplist comprising a data structure for referencing a plurality of ordered nodes, the data structure having a plurality of linked lists, each node representing at least one memory block, wherein each node is associated with a bucket including a set of ordered values, where the first value in each bucket of each node is the relatively lowest value in the bucket, comparing the value to the first values in each bucket to identify a particular node in which the first value may be located, and, in response to determining that the first value of the particular node is not the same as the value to be searched, comparing the value to be searched with the ordered values in the bucket.
