Script to store keys in order to check if a given key is in the storage.
(c) LindaB Helendale
Permission to use this script freely granted but please retain the copyright info.
Suitable for applications like visitor counters, gift givers, etc.
Not suitable for applications where you need to fetch the key from the storage, as the whole key is not stored. For such applications, see http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Key_compression
Capacity of the script is more than 9200 keys.
The keys are stored by hash codes, which means that there's a possibility of a key search matching to a different key. (That is technically possible with the full UUID keys too but very unlikely).
In this script the clash probability (at least one duplicate) for 9000 stored keys is about 1 out of 100 000. That is, if this script is used in 100 000 applications with full capacity in each, there's probably one where two keys get mapped to the same hash value.

Container script to store a list of keys as 42 bit hash codes

Usage via link messages.
Request: llMessageLinked(LINK_THIS, num, tag, uuid)
Response: link_message(integer sender_num, integer num, string message, key id)
Arguments:
tag "LBHreq" request to this script (denoted by > in the list of requests below)
"LBHresp" response back to the calling script (denoted by < below)
num: Identifier of the request or response
> 2 : check if the key in argument uuid exists in the storage
> 3 : check and save if not found
> 4 : reset the storage
> 5 : request stats of the memory usage, see < 6
< 0,1 : boolean response to check/save request, 1: key found, 0: key not found
< 6 : response to stat request containing the following data in the key field
"Keys:9235,FreeMem:594,UsedMem:64942,Full:0"
Keys: number of keys in the storage
FreeMem: free memory in bytes
UsedMem: used memory (byte code + storage)
Full: flag that is 1 if the memory has been full and oldest entries removed
Capacity: more than 9200 keys.
Clash probability (at least one duplicate) for 9000 keys is about 1 out of 100 000.
(That is, if this script is used in 100 000 applications with full capacity in each,
there's probably one where two keys get mapped to the same hash value).
When the max capasity is reached, the oldest entries are removed.
Techie stuff: three 14 bit fields are masked from the MD5 hash of the key
and converted to UTF-16 characters to form a 3-character (6 byte) hash.
The first character has the 15th bit set to 1 to avoid substring match
with wrong alignment.
