Red-Black Tree

"Introduction to Algorithms" (Cormen et al, 3rd ed.), Chapter 13

  1. Every node is either red or black.
  2. The root is black.
  3. Every leaf (NIL) is black.
  4. If a node is red, then both its children are black.
  5. For each node, all simple paths from the node to descendant leaves contain the same number of black nodes.

For example,

import (
    "fmt"

    "go.etcd.io/etcd/pkg/v3/adt"
)

func main() {
    ivt := adt.NewIntervalTree()
    ivt.Insert(NewInt64Interval(510, 511), 0)
    ivt.Insert(NewInt64Interval(82, 83), 0)
    ivt.Insert(NewInt64Interval(830, 831), 0)
    ...

After inserting the values 510, 82, 830, 11, 383, 647, 899, 261, 410, 514, 815, 888, 972, 238, 292, 953.

Deleting the node 514 should not trigger any rebalancing:

Deleting the node 11 triggers multiple rotates for rebalancing:

# Functions

# Structs

Interval implements a Comparable interval [begin, end) TODO: support different sorts of intervals: (a,b), [a,b], (a, b].
IntervalValue represents a range tree node that contains a range and a value.

# Interfaces

Comparable is an interface for trichotomic comparisons.
IntervalTree represents a (mostly) textbook implementation of the "Introduction to Algorithms" (Cormen et al, 3rd ed.) chapter 13 red-black tree and chapter 14.3 interval tree with search supporting "stabbing queries".

# Type aliases

BytesAffineComparable treats empty byte arrays as > all other byte arrays.
IntervalVisitor is used on tree searches; return false to stop searching.
StringAffineComparable treats "" as > all other strings.
