*  FUNCTION
*     This module provides a hash table implementation for Grid Engine.
*
*     Hash tables are used to have very fast access to objects stored in 
*     data structures like linked lists without having to traverse the 
*     whole list when searching a specific element.
*
*     An element in a hash table is characterized by a unique key.
*
*     This hash table implementation dynamically adjusts the size of the
*     hash table when necessary.
*
*  NOTES
*     MT-NOTE: This module is MT safe.

*     sge_htable_resize() -- Resize the hash table
*
*  SYNOPSIS
*     static void sge_htable_resize(htable ht, int grow) 
*
*  FUNCTION
*     Hash tables are dynamically resized if necessary.
*     If the number of elements in a has table becomes too big, the hash
*     algorithm can no longer provide efficient access to the stored 
*     objects. On the other hand, storing only a few elements in a much 
*     too big hash table wastes memory. Therefore the whole table can 
*     be resized. If the hash table has to grow, it is doubled in size.
*     If it has to be shrunk, it is halfed in size.
*
*     Resizing implies rehashing all stored objects.
*
*  INPUTS
*     htable ht             - the hashtable  to resize 
*     int grow              - true or false
*           true  = double size of the table,
*           false = shrink table to half the size
*
*  NOTE
*     If the system is running in log_level log_debug, statistics is 
*     output before and after resizing the hash table, along with timing 
*     information.
