Method Summary

static HashCode	combineOrdered(Iterable<HashCode> hashCodes) Returns a hash code, having the same bit length as each of the input hash codes, that combines the information of these hash codes in an ordered fashion.
static HashCode	combineUnordered(Iterable<HashCode> hashCodes) Returns a hash code, having the same bit length as each of the input hash codes, that combines the information of these hash codes in an unordered fashion.
static int	consistentHash(HashCode hashCode, int buckets) Assigns to hashCode a "bucket" in the range [0, buckets), in a uniform manner that minimizes the need for remapping as buckets grows.
static int	consistentHash(long input, int buckets) Assigns to input a "bucket" in the range [0, buckets), in a uniform manner that minimizes the need for remapping as buckets grows.
static HashFunction	goodFastHash(int minimumBits) Returns a general-purpose, non-cryptographic-strength, streaming hash function that produces hash codes of length at least minimumBits.
static HashFunction	md5() Returns a hash function implementing the MD5 hash algorithm by delegating to the MD5 MessageDigest.
static HashFunction	murmur3_128() Returns a hash function implementing the 128-bit murmur3 algorithm, x64 variant (little-endian variant), using a seed value of zero.
static HashFunction	murmur3_128(int seed) Returns a hash function implementing the 128-bit murmur3 algorithm, x64 variant (little-endian variant), using the given seed value.
static HashFunction	murmur3_32() Returns a hash function implementing the 32-bit murmur3 algorithm (little-endian variant), using a seed value of zero.
static HashFunction	murmur3_32(int seed) Returns a hash function implementing the 32-bit murmur3 algorithm (little-endian variant), using the given seed value.
static long	padToLong(HashCode hashCode) If hashCode has enough bits, returns hashCode.asLong(), otherwise returns a long value with hashCode.asInt() as the least-significant four bytes and 0x00 as each of the most-significant four bytes.
static HashFunction	sha1() Returns a hash function implementing the SHA-1 algorithm by delegating to the SHA-1 MessageDigest.
static HashFunction	sha256() Returns a hash function implementing the SHA-256 algorithm by delegating to the SHA-256 MessageDigest.
static HashFunction	sha512() Returns a hash function implementing the SHA-512 algorithm by delegating to the SHA-512 MessageDigest.

Method Detail

goodFastHash

public static HashFunction goodFastHash(int minimumBits)

Returns a general-purpose, non-cryptographic-strength, streaming hash function that produces hash codes of length at least minimumBits. Users without specific compatibility requirements and who do not persist the hash codes are encouraged to choose this hash function.

Warning: the implementation is unspecified and is subject to change.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if minimumBits is not positive

murmur3_32

public static HashFunction murmur3_32(int seed)

Returns a hash function implementing the 32-bit murmur3 algorithm (little-endian variant), using the given seed value.

murmur3_32

public static HashFunction murmur3_32()

Returns a hash function implementing the 32-bit murmur3 algorithm (little-endian variant), using a seed value of zero.

murmur3_128

public static HashFunction murmur3_128(int seed)

Returns a hash function implementing the 128-bit murmur3 algorithm, x64 variant (little-endian variant), using the given seed value.

murmur3_128

public static HashFunction murmur3_128()

Returns a hash function implementing the 128-bit murmur3 algorithm, x64 variant (little-endian variant), using a seed value of zero.

md5

public static HashFunction md5()

Returns a hash function implementing the MD5 hash algorithm by delegating to the MD5 MessageDigest.

sha1

public static HashFunction sha1()

Returns a hash function implementing the SHA-1 algorithm by delegating to the SHA-1 MessageDigest.

sha256

public static HashFunction sha256()

Returns a hash function implementing the SHA-256 algorithm by delegating to the SHA-256 MessageDigest.

sha512

public static HashFunction sha512()

Returns a hash function implementing the SHA-512 algorithm by delegating to the SHA-512 MessageDigest.

padToLong

public static long padToLong(HashCode hashCode)

If hashCode has enough bits, returns hashCode.asLong(), otherwise returns a long value with hashCode.asInt() as the least-significant four bytes and 0x00 as each of the most-significant four bytes.

consistentHash

public static int consistentHash(HashCode hashCode,
                                 int buckets)

Assigns to hashCode a "bucket" in the range [0, buckets), in a uniform manner that minimizes the need for remapping as buckets grows. That is, consistentHash(h, n) equals:

• n - 1, with approximate probability 1/n
• consistentHash(h, n - 1), otherwise (probability 1 - 1/n)

See the wikipedia article on consistent hashing for more information.

consistentHash

public static int consistentHash(long input,
                                 int buckets)

Assigns to input a "bucket" in the range [0, buckets), in a uniform manner that minimizes the need for remapping as buckets grows. That is, consistentHash(h, n) equals:

• n - 1, with approximate probability 1/n
• consistentHash(h, n - 1), otherwise (probability 1 - 1/n)

See the wikipedia article on consistent hashing for more information.

combineOrdered

public static HashCode combineOrdered(Iterable<HashCode> hashCodes)

Returns a hash code, having the same bit length as each of the input hash codes, that combines the information of these hash codes in an ordered fashion. That is, whenever two equal hash codes are produced by two calls to this method, it is as likely as possible that each was computed from the same input hash codes in the same order.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if hashCodes is empty, or the hash codes do not all have the same bit length

combineUnordered

public static HashCode combineUnordered(Iterable<HashCode> hashCodes)

Returns a hash code, having the same bit length as each of the input hash codes, that combines the information of these hash codes in an unordered fashion. That is, whenever two equal hash codes are produced by two calls to this method, it is as likely as possible that each was computed from the same input hash codes in some order.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if hashCodes is empty, or the hash codes do not all have the same bit length
