On some data, for certain ways of using and querying that data, it makes a lot more sense than a b-tree. When we use hash indices for some of the columns in our test just to see how Postgres will perform, and run our test towards a quarter of a billion rows where Postgres' 32-bit hash indices have a relatively high chance of colliding, querying these hash indices and returning the single requested row is still instantaneous.
