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.
