Hi,

I want to populate a hash set in the beginning of program and want to do lookups from several threads. Hash set will be read-only. Is khash thread-safe for this type of situation (i.e concurrent readers)? I looked documentation but couldn't find anything about it.

Yes, reading is thread safe. Writing is not.
