Subject: [ruby-core:49590] [ruby-trunk - Feature #5106][Rejected] Is MurmurHash overkill?


Issue #5106 has been updated by mame (Yusuke Endoh).

Status changed from Feedback to Rejected

I'm closing this ticket.  Feel free to reopen with benchmark.

BTW: MurmurHash was replaced with SipHash which is a bit slower than MurmurHash.

Feature #5106: Is MurmurHash overkill?
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/5106#change-33104

Author: kstephens (Kurt  Stephens)
Status: Rejected
Priority: Low
Assignee: mame (Yusuke Endoh)
Category: 
Target version: 


st.c implements MurmurHash to compute hash table indexes (#hash).  

Simpler hash functions may be appropriate for hash tables, esp. small tables.

Is there a particular reason this hash function was chosen?  Is MurmurHash typically used for check-summing purposes?

Anybody positively adverse to changing it?  If so I won't bother.  Otherwise I might take a crack at it.
