Hello,


I have done those tests to show some numbers...

But the scalability of parallelhashlist does depend on the data keys
that are presented to parallelhashlist, when the data keys are hashed
and are very well distributed across the segments, in fact you can
get a perfect 4X scaling both on reads and writes.



Thank you.

Amine Moulay Ramdane.
