Interpolation-Based Index Maintenance

Summary: Interpolation-based order-preserving hashing for online maintenance of dynamic external files supporting insert/update/delete and orthogonal range queries. Adapts linear hashing to eliminate index/address-directory, uses O(n) space, tunable storage, and achieves very small average search lengths (successful <<2, unsuccessful <<4).
