The distributed storage engine used by Ray is a distributed sparse hash table that uses these features: - incremental resizing - double hashing - buckets are in groups - distributed The run-time options: Distributed storage engine -hash-table-buckets buckets Sets the initial number of buckets. Must be a power of 2 ! Default value: 262144 -hash-table-buckets-per-group buckets Sets the number of buckets per group for sparse storage Default value: 64, Must be between >=1 and <= 64 -hash-table-load-factor-threshold threshold Sets the load factor threshold for real-time resizing Default value: 0.6, must be >= 0.5 and < 1 -hash-table-verbosity Activates verbosity for the distributed storage engine
