Talk:Tombstone (data store)

Another common use of a "tombstone" is in a hash table, when a deletion would require potential re-re-location of collisions, it may be easier to just make the entry into a tombstone. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.102.172.126 (talk) 21:56, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

Yet another definition of "tombstone data" comes from the privacy term relating to personally identifying data that doesn't change during a person's life: name and date of birth being the primary examples but SSN/SIN being another. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.224.92.242 (talk) 19:47, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
