hashbrown

This crate is a Rust port of Google's high-performance SwissTable hash map, adapted to make it a drop-in replacement for Rust's standard HashMap and HashSet types.

The original C++ version of SwissTable can be found here, and this CppCon talk gives an overview of how the algorithm works.

Since Rust 1.36, this is now the HashMap implementation for the Rust standard library. However you may still want to use this crate instead since it works in environments without std, such as embedded systems and kernels.

Change log

Features

• Drop-in replacement for the standard library HashMap and HashSet types.
• Uses foldhash as the default hasher, which is much faster than SipHash. However, foldhash does not provide the same level of HashDoS resistance as SipHash, so if that is important to you, you might want to consider using a different hasher.
• Around 2x faster than the previous standard library HashMap.
• Lower memory usage: only 1 byte of overhead per entry instead of 8.
• Compatible with #[no_std] (but requires a global allocator with the alloc crate).
• Empty hash maps do not allocate any memory.
• SIMD lookups to scan multiple hash entries in parallel.

Usage

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
hashbrown = "0.15"

Then:

use hashbrown::HashMap;

let mut map = HashMap::new();
map.insert(1, "one");

Flags

This crate has the following Cargo features:

• nightly: Enables nightly-only features including: #[may_dangle].
• serde: Enables serde serialization support.
• rayon: Enables rayon parallel iterator support.
• equivalent: Allows comparisons to be customized with the Equivalent trait. (enabled by default)
• raw-entry: Enables access to the deprecated RawEntry API.
• inline-more: Adds inline hints to most functions, improving run-time performance at the cost of compilation time. (enabled by default)
• default-hasher: Compiles with foldhash as default hasher. (enabled by default)
• allocator-api2: Enables support for allocators that support allocator-api2. (enabled by default)
