redis, dict, hashtable

two hash functions

    while (len--)

MurmurHash2

/* MurmurHash2, by Austin Appleby
 * Note - This code makes a few assumptions about how your machine behaves -
 * 1. We can read a 4-byte value from any address without crashing
 * 2. sizeof(int) == 4
 *
 * And it has a few limitations -
 *
 * 1. It will not work incrementally.
 * 2. It will not produce the same results on little-endian and big-endian
 *    machines.

I have only read the structure about the dict and the simply add logic to dict

dictAdd -> dictAddRaw -> _dictKeyIndex -> dictExpandIfNeeded -> dictExpand

also read the meaning and reality of rehashing.

Here is a structure info from other's blog
