ASF subversion and git services commented on AVRO-2030: ------------------------------------------------------- Commit f0aad4230f5d2e6d6565c86701f3d21e59990f28 in avro's branch refs/heads/master from Michael A. Smith [ https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf?p=avro.git;h=f0aad42 ] AVRO-2030: Link to Google Books Chapter (#695) > Fix broken URL to "this book chapter" about Rabin fingerprints in 1.8.1 spec > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: AVRO-2030 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-2030 > Project: Apache Avro > Issue Type: Task > Components: build > Affects Versions: 1.8.1 > Reporter: CJ Gaconnet > Assignee: Michael A. Smith > Priority: Trivial > > The [1.8.1 > specification|https://avro.apache.org/docs/current/spec.html#N1088B] has a > sentence saying: > bq. Readers interested in the mathematics behind this algorithm may want to > read [this book chapter|http://www.scribd.com/fb-6001967/d/84795-Crc]. > The URL http://www.scribd.com/fb-6001967/d/84795-Crc now serves up a 404. > Does anyone know what book the link was pointing to? > Searching around leads me to think it was probably pointing to "14-2 Theory" > of _Hacker's Delight_ by Henry S. Warren. If so, it would be nice to either > update or remove the hyperlink and have the text cite the book and chapter by > name so that interested readers can still find it even if an updated link > were to go away. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
