%%% This is the implementation of the mnesia file storage. Each (non
%%% ram-copy) table is maintained in a corresponding .DAT file. The
%%% dat file is organized as a segmented linear hashlist. The head of
%%% the file with the split indicator, size etc is held in ram by the
%%% server at all times.
%%%
%%% The parts specific for formats up to and including 8(c) are
%%% implemented in dets_v8.erl, parts specific for format 9 are
%%% implemented in dets_v9.erl.

%%  The method of hashing is the so called linear hashing algorithm
%%  with segments. 
%%
%%  Linear hashing:
%%
%%         - n indicates next bucket to split (initially zero); 
%%         - m is the size of the hash table 
%%         - initially next = m and n = 0
%%  
%%         - to insert: 
%%                - hash = key mod m 
%%                - if hash < n then hash = key mod 2m 
%%                - when the number of objects exceeds the initial size
%%                  of the hash table, each insertion of an object
%%                  causes bucket n to be split:
%%                      - add a new bucket to the end of the table 
%%                      - redistribute the contents of bucket n 
%%                        using hash = key mod 2m 
%%                      - increment n 
%%                      - if n = m then m = 2m, n = 0 
%%         - to search: 
%%                hash = key mod m 
%%                if hash < n then hash = key mod 2m 
%%                do linear scan of the bucket 
%%  

%%% If a file error occurs on a working dets file, update_mode is set
%%% to the error tuple. When in 'error' mode, the free lists are not
%%% written, and a repair is forced next time the file is opened.

%%% Some further debug code was added in R12B-1 (stdlib-1.15.1):
%%% - there is a new open_file() option 'debug';
%%% - there is a new OS environment variable 'DETS_DEBUG';
%%% - verbose(true) implies that info messages are written onto
%%%   the error log whenever an unsafe traversal is started.
%%% The 'debug' mode (set by the open_file() option 'debug' or
%%% by os:putenv("DETS_DEBUG", "true")) implies that the results of
%%% calling pwrite() and pread() are tested to some extent. It also
%%% means a considerable overhead when it comes to RAM usage. The
%%% operation of Dets is also slowed down a bit. Note that in debug
%%% mode terms will be output on the error logger.

%%% The write cache is list of {Key, [Item]} where Item is one of
%%% {Seq, delete_key}, {Seq, {lookup,Pid}}, {Seq, {delete_object,object()}}, 
%%% or {Seq, {insert,object()}}. Seq is a number that increases
%%% monotonically for each item put in the cache. The purpose is to
%%% make sure that items are sorted correctly. Sequences of delete and
%%% insert operations are inserted in the cache without doing any file
%%% operations. When the cache is considered full, a lookup operation
%%% is requested, or after some delay, the contents of the cache are
%%% written to the file, and the cache emptied.
%%%
%%% Data is not allowed to linger more than 'delay' milliseconds in
%%% the write cache. A delayed_write message is received when some
%%% datum has become too old. If 'wrtime' is equal to 'undefined',
%%% then the cache is empty and no such delayed_write message has been
%%% scheduled. Otherwise there is a delayed_write message scheduled,
%%% and the value of 'wrtime' is the time when the cache was last
