Vijay commented on CASSANDRA-3772: ---------------------------------- >>> Added back in a deprecated RandomPartitioner class that identity-derives >>> from MD5Partitioner for backwards compatibility. Not sure about this: May be we should call the MD5Partitioner a random partitioner and not Deprecate it (Because we might not be able to remove this class for a long long time... Similar to OldNetworkTopologyStrategy)? BTW: Jeremy, I was not able to see any Much of a difference using the stress tool. > Evaluate Murmur3-based partitioner > ---------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-3772 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3772 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Core > Reporter: Jonathan Ellis > Assignee: Dave Brosius > Fix For: 1.2 > > Attachments: hashed_partitioner.diff, try_murmur3.diff, > try_murmur3_2.diff > > > MD5 is a relatively heavyweight hash to use when we don't need cryptographic > qualities, just a good output distribution.
