Upgrade MurmurHash to version 3 ------------------------------- Key: CASSANDRA-2975 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2975 Project: Cassandra Issue Type: Improvement Components: Core Affects Versions: 0.8.3 Reporter: Brian Lindauer Priority: Trivial
MurmurHash version 3 was finalized on June 3. It provides an enormous speedup and increased robustness over version 2, which is implemented in Cassandra. Information here: http://code.google.com/p/smhasher/ The reference implementation is here: http://code.google.com/p/smhasher/source/browse/trunk/MurmurHash3.cpp?spec=svn136&r=136 I have already done the work to port the (public domain) reference implementation to Java in the MurmurHash class and updated the BloomFilter class to use the new implementation: https://github.com/lindauer/cassandra/commit/cea6068a4a3e5d7d9509335394f9ef3350d37e93 Apart from the faster hash time, the new version only requires one call to hash() rather than 2, since it returns 128 bits of hash instead of 64. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
