Talk:Hash join

I've downgraded to a draft task for now; we need more implementations (preferably independent ones!) so that we can be sure that a sufficient common understanding if the task exists. Once there are four language implementations, we can promote back. Also, what about language/runtime systems with built-in hash table support? –Donal Fellows (talk) 22:47, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

Agree on the draft status for now. And despite the, er, fireworks accompanying its creation, I suspect it'll be a good task. I don't see how the built-in-ness of hashes plays one way or the other. The task merely assumes that an appropriate hash implementation will be used, whether built-in or imported or implemented as part of the solution. --TimToady (talk) 04:05, 3 December 2013 (UTC)
