Hi, hackers. Here is some test I run on a bigger set.
Use a word list of 39916800 unique words
The table size is 1529MB.
Index BuildTime IndexSize
---- ---- ----
btree 874470.339ms 1027MB
hash-patch 513026.381 ms 1024MB
I use pgbench to test the time of a custom query script.
There are 2000 statements in the script.
It looks like this:
select * from dict where word='123456789a0'
...
The time of the two index is
btree: 1/0.174700=5.00250125
hash-patch: 1/0.199900=5.724098
---------------btree------------------
$ pgbench -n -f /tmp/query.sql dict
transaction type: Custom query
scaling factor: 1
query mode: simple
number of clients: 1
number of transactions per client: 10
number of transactions actually processed: 10/10
tps = 0.174694 (including connections establishing)
tps = 0.174700 (excluding connections establishing)
