Komodo Persistent Hash

Post by j_romang »

I have a question about persistent hash : after saving the hash file to a file, is it ok to reload it to RAM with a different hash size (smaller or bigger) ?

No, both hash sizes need to be the same.

I should add that Komodo will give an error message if you try to load a different sized hash file than the current hash size in Komodo. Assuming your favorite GUI display engine messages, it will say "File size does not match Hash size" if you try that.
