Dave Brosius commented on CASSANDRA-3772:
-----------------------------------------
Doing 1000 inserts of a 5 column CF on a single node cluster on a really lousy
machine seems to show that the guava murmur hash is significantly slower than
MD5. 5x? perhaps. Perhaps it's just the guava implementation, as opposed to the
Murmur3 implementation.

> MD5 is a relatively heavyweight hash to use when we don't need cryptographic
> qualities, just a good output distribution. Let's see how much overhead we
> can save by using Murmur3 instead.
