Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-3772: ------------------------------------------- bq. Did you guys tested on secondary index reads (with reasonably high cardinality)? That's when MD5 was a bottleneck because then the column comparator ends up redecorating keys over and over again. Is that something we can address in the index code then, instead of creating a new partitioner? > 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: 0001-CASSANDRA-3772-Test.patch, MumPartitionerTest.docx, > hashed_partitioner.diff, hashed_partitioner_3.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.
