+/** \file
+
+ Bounded-index extensible hashing. The basic algorithm performs
+ thread-safe constant-time lookups in the face of a rational number
+ of hash collisions. The computed hash code h(k) must have
+ reasonable statistics with respect to the key space. It won't do
+ to have h(k) = 0 or 1, for all values of k.
+
+ Each bucket in the power-of-two bucket array contains the index
+ (in a private vppinfra memory heap) of the "backing store" for the
+ bucket, as well as a size field. The size field (log2_pages)
+ corresponds to 1, 2, 4, ... contiguous "pages" containing the
+ (key,value) pairs in the bucket.
+
+ When a single page fills, we allocate two contiguous pages. We
+ recompute h(k) for each (key,value) pair, using an additional bit
+ to deal the (key, value) pairs into the "top" and "bottom" pages.
+
+ At lookup time, we compute h(k), using lg(bucket-array-size) to
+ pick the bucket. We read the bucket to find the base of the
+ backing pages. We use an additional log2_pages' worth of bits
+ from h(k) to compute the offset of the page which will contain the
+ (key,value) pair we're trying to find.
