Hello I'm reading through the PDF that Brett Slatkin has published for %subj %. http://tinyurl.com/3523mej
In the video (the Fan-in part) Brett says that the work_index has to be a hash, so that 'you distribute the load across the BigTable' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSDC_TU7rtc#t=48m44 And this is how work_index is created: work_index = '%s-%d' % (sum_name, knuth_hash(index)) ...which I guess creates something like 'votesMovieXYZ-54657651321987' My question is why only one half of work_index is hashed? Is it important? Would it be bad to do md5('%s-%d' % (sum_name, index)) so that the hash would be like '6gw8....hq6'? Regards J.
