Low latency storage media such as byte-addressable persistent memory (PM) requires rethinking of various data structures in terms of optimization. One of the main challenges in implementing hash-based indexing structures on PM is how to achieve efficiency by making effective use of cachelines while guaranteeing failure-atomicity for dynamic hash expansion and shrinkage. In this paper, we present Cacheline-Conscious Extendible Hashing (CCEH) that reduces the overhead of dynamic memory block management while guaranteeing constant hash table lookup time. CCEH guarantees failure-atomicity without making use of explicit logging. Our experiments show that CCEH effectively adapts its size as the demand increases under the fine-grained failure-atomicity constraint and reduces the maximum query latency by over two-thirds compared to the state-of-the-art hashing techniques.
