Radim Kolar updated MAPREDUCE-4827: ----------------------------------- Attachment: betterhash1.txt > Increase hash quality of HashPartitioner > ---------------------------------------- > > Key: MAPREDUCE-4827 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-4827 > Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Radim Kolar > Attachments: betterhash1.txt > > > hash partitioner is using object.hashCode() for splitting keys into > partitions. This results in bad distributions because hashCode() quality is > poor. > These hashCode() functions are sometimes written by hand (very poor quality) > and sometimes generated from by commons lang code (poor quality). Applying > some transformation on top of hashCode() provides better distribution. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
