CJ Gaconnet created AVRO-2030:
---------------------------------
Summary: Fix broken URL to "this book chapter" about Rabin
fingerprints in 1.8.1 spec
Key: AVRO-2030
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-2030
Project: Avro
Issue Type: Task
Affects Versions: 1.8.1
Reporter: CJ Gaconnet
Priority: Trivial
The [1.8.1 specification|https://avro.apache.org/docs/current/spec.html#N1088B]
has a sentence saying:
bq. Readers interested in the mathematics behind this algorithm may want to
read [this book chapter|http://www.scribd.com/fb-6001967/d/84795-Crc].
The URL http://www.scribd.com/fb-6001967/d/84795-Crc now serves up a 404. Does
anyone know what book the link was pointing to?
Searching around leads me to think it was probably pointing to "14-2 Theory" of
_Hacker's Delight_ by Henry S. Warren. If so, it would be nice to either update
or remove the hyperlink and have the text cite the book and chapter by name so
that interested readers can still find it even if an updated link were to go
away.
