Cascade Hashing

Summary: Introduces Cascade Hashing, unifying Linear Hashing, Spiral Storage, and related dynamic schemes. It keeps overflow records in the main file, clustering each bucket’s overflow into few buckets, promising near-one search lengths beyond 90% utilization. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
