Integer value of h3Index

Hi, I know that since Js does not support BigInteger this library is returning hex results as index, but is there any safe way to use BigInt object in js to handle these numbers? since in my case I need to manipulate the indexes.

numpy should be able to handle things up to a few million pretty easily.

Here’s an example with numpy and a Python set for 100 million 64-bit integers. Both seem fast.

The set approach looks a bit faster for testing membership, and would definitely be more flexible and efficient around adding/removing members than the numpy sorted array.

If you’re going the Python route, would a normal python dict or set solve your problem? You might also look at the bisect module, or numpy.searchsorted.

Getting a little more sophisticated, you might look at cykhash, which should be quite fast, and can be called from pure Python directly, or from compiled Cython code.

Or, I might be completely missing the point, and there’s a good reason to use a tree over a hash table. 😄
