go-immutable-adaptive-radix Run CI Tests

Provides the adaptive package that implements an immutable adaptive radix tree. The package only provides a single RadixTree implementation, optimized for sparse nodes.

As a radix tree, it provides the following:

  • O(k) operations. In many cases, this can be faster than a hash table since the hash function is an O(k) operation, and hash tables have very poor cache locality.
  • Minimum / Maximum value lookups
  • Ordered iteration

A tree supports using a transaction to batch multiple updates (insert, delete) in a more efficient manner than performing each operation one at a time.

Example

Below is a simple example of usage

// Create a tree
r := adaptive.NewRadixTree[int]()
r, _, _ = r.Insert([]byte("foo"), 1)
r, _, _ = r.Insert([]byte("bar"), 2)
r, _, _ = r.Insert([]byte("foobar"), 2)

// Find the longest prefix match
m, _, _ := r.LongestPrefix([]byte("foozip"))
if string(m) != "foo" {
    panic("should be foo")
}

Here is an example of performing a range scan of the keys.

// Create a tree
r := adaptive.NewRadixTree[int]()
r, _, _ = r.Insert([]byte("001"), 1)
r, _, _ = r.Insert([]byte("002"), 2)
r, _, _ = r.Insert([]byte("005"), 5)
r, _, _ = r.Insert([]byte("010"), 10)
r, _, _ = r.Insert([]byte("100"), 10)
