//! This module provides a function to estimate the memory size of a HashTable prior to alloaction

use crate::{DataFusionError, Result};
use std::mem::size_of;

/// Estimates the memory size required for a hash table prior to allocation.
///
/// # Parameters
/// - `num_elements`: The number of elements expected in the hash table.
/// - `fixed_size`: A fixed overhead size associated with the collection
///    (e.g., HashSet or HashTable).
/// - `T`: The type of elements stored in the hash table.
///
/// # Details
/// This function calculates the estimated memory size by considering:
/// - An overestimation of buckets to keep approximately 1/8 of them empty.
/// - The total memory size is computed as:
///   - The size of each entry (`T`) multiplied by the estimated number of
///     buckets.
///   - One byte overhead for each bucket.
///   - The fixed size overhead of the collection.
/// - If the estimation overflows, we return a [`DataFusionError`]
///
/// # Examples
/// ---
///
/// ## From within a struct
///
/// ```rust
/// # use datafusion_common::utils::memory::estimate_memory_size;
/// # use datafusion_common::Result;
///
/// struct MyStruct<T> {
///     values: Vec<T>,
///     other_data: usize,
/// }
///
/// impl<T> MyStruct<T> {
///     fn size(&self) -> Result<usize> {
///         let num_elements = self.values.len();
///         let fixed_size = std::mem::size_of_val(self) +
///           std::mem::size_of_val(&self.values);
///
///         estimate_memory_size::<T>(num_elements, fixed_size)
///     }
/// }
/// ```
/// ---
/// ## With a simple collection
///
/// ```rust
/// # use datafusion_common::utils::memory::estimate_memory_size;
/// # use std::collections::HashMap;
///
/// let num_rows = 100;
/// let fixed_size = std::mem::size_of::<HashMap<u64, u64>>();
/// let estimated_hashtable_size =
///   estimate_memory_size::<(u64, u64)>(num_rows,fixed_size)
///     .expect("Size estimation failed");
/// ```

    // to keep ~1/8 of them empty. We take this factor into account by
    // multiplying the number of elements with a fixed ratio of 8/7 (~1.14).
    // This formula leads to overallocation for small tables (< 8 elements)
    // but should be fine overall.
