Substitute the synchronized code in MD5Hash to avoid lock contention. Use 
ThreadLocal instead.

                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-3556
             Project: Hadoop Core
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Iván de Prado


Currently the MD5Hash class uses a singleton instance of the MessageDigester. 
The access to this instance is synchronized, so MD5Hash has performance 
problems when used from several Threads. I propose to substitute the singleton 
instance by a TheadLocal instances cache. I will provide a patch.
