Hello
We encountered this, which I believe is a bug, in our usage of ExcaliburHash
Basically, if a HashMap has only Tombstones left, but no Empty slots anymore,
emplace()
will loop infinitelyMy attempt to fix, with a very rough understanding of linear probing and tombstones, is that once we've completed a loop over all elements (reached
startItem
) we can safely insert in the first encountered tombstone as we are sure there are no duplicate keys
