higher value for hash_area_size, though is desirable, does not affect the hashing performance in a big way. Reason could be that memory is only used for creating hashes and then the records are flushed to the temp segments (disk).
Whereas in case of sorting, due to complex logic performed for sorting all the records, data moves back and forth multiple time between memory and disk, thus requiring higher sort_area_size for minimizing these iterations. Temp space requirement also falls to a good extent.
One needs to set workarea_size_policy to MANUAL and specify the desired sort and hash area sizes. if hash_area_size is not defined then it defaults to 2*sort_area_size.
