It’s part deep dive, part engineering diary, and part cautionary tale about performance work. 1) The SwissTable project, explained the way it feels when you first understand it SwissTable is an open-addressing hash table design that came out of Google’s work and was famously presented as a new C++ hash table approach (and later shipped in Abseil).
