  - goodFastHash
```
public static HashFunction goodFastHash(int minimumBits)
```
    Returns a general-purpose, temporary-use, non-cryptographic hash function. The algorithm the returned function implements is unspecified and subject to change without notice.

    Repeated calls to this method on the same loaded Hashing class, using the same value for minimumBits, will return identically-behaving HashFunction instances.
    
    Parameters:
    
    minimumBits - a positive integer (can be arbitrarily large)
    
    Returns:
    
    a hash function, described above, that produces hash codes of length minimumBits or greater

  - 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)
    This method is suitable for the common use case of dividing work among buckets that meet the following conditions:
    - You want to assign the same fraction of inputs to each bucket.
    - When you reduce the number of buckets, you can accept that the most recently added buckets will be removed first. More concretely, if you are dividing traffic among tasks, you can decrease the number of tasks from 15 and 10, killing off the final 5 tasks, and consistentHash will handle it. If, however, you are dividing traffic among servers alpha, bravo, and charlie and you occasionally need to take each of the servers offline, consistentHash will be a poor fit: It provides no way for you to specify which of the three buckets is disappearing. Thus, if your buckets change from [alpha, bravo, charlie] to [bravo, charlie], it will assign all the old alpha traffic to bravo and all the old bravo traffic to charlie, rather than letting bravo keep its traffic.
    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

```
    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.

```
    Returns a hash function which computes its hash code by concatenating the hash codes of the underlying hash functions together. This can be useful if you need to generate hash codes of a specific length.
    For example, if you need 1024-bit hash codes, you could join two sha512() hash functions together: Hashing.concatenating(Hashing.sha512(), Hashing.sha512()).
