yo-kv 0.3.22

//! A sparse array: a sequence indexed by a `u64`, with holes.
//!
//! This is the type behind the `AR*` commands Redis added in 8.9, and it is the
//! only collection here whose index is unsigned. A list is indexed from either
//! end and `-1` is the last element. An array is indexed by position in a space
//! that runs to `2^64 - 2`, so `-1` is not the end of anything, it is an error,
//! and most of that space is empty at any moment.
//!
//! ```text
//!   slices, sorted by id, binary searched
//! +---------+---------+-------------------+---------+
//! | id 0    | id 7    |        ...        | id 9e12 |
//! | sparse  | dense   |                   | sparse  |
//! +---------+---------+-------------------+---------+
//!      \                                        /
//!       \--- offsets and words -----------------/
//!                     |
//!             +-------------------------------+
//!             | one blob per array, for the   |
//!             | values too long to inline     |
//!             +-------------------------------+
//! ```
//!
//! # Two numbers that are not the same number
//!
//! [`Array::len`] is the highest populated index plus one and [`Array::count`]
//! is how many indices are populated. `ARSET k 1000000 x` gives a length of a
//! million and one and a count of one. Every other collection here has one
//! number for both and it is worth saying out loud, because a caller that
//! reaches for the wrong one gets an answer rather than an error.
//!
//! # Where the slices live
//!
//! Redis keeps a flat directory of slice pointers indexed by slice id, and then
//! a second structure over that for when the ids get far apart, because a flat
//! array indexed by `idx >> 12` is nine billion entries for an index of nine
//! trillion. Here it is one `Vec` of `(id, slice)` kept sorted and binary
//! searched, which covers the whole index space in one structure with no
//! second mode to get wrong, and costs a handful of compares on a get instead
//! of one load. A key with a thousand slices is ten compares, and a key with a
//! thousand slices is four million elements, so the compares are noise next to
//! what the caller is doing with the data.
//!
//! # Where the values live
//!
//! A value of eight bytes or more is a slice of one blob owned by the array, and
//! everything shorter is inlined in the word itself. Redis heap allocates each
//! of those, paying a malloc header and the rounding on every one. One blob per
//! key pays the bytes and nothing else, at the cost of having to compact when
//! enough of it is dead. See `Word` for the four things a word can be.
