stack commented on HBASE-875:
-----------------------------

Thanks for the patch Andrzej.  It looks great.  One comment. In  
src/java/org/onelab/filter/Filter.java, you add in versioning.  Deserializing, 
if first int is > 0, then you assume Filter is of an older version.  Is this 
test safe?  Its not possible for a hash to be negative?

Otherwise, the configuration of which hash to use applies to BloomFilters only 
it seems?  If so, that seems right; it shouldn''t break hbase finding encoded 
region names in the filesystem.


> Use MurmurHash instead of JenkinsHash

> I recently ported the MurmurHash (http://murmurhash.googlepages.com/) to 
> Java, and according to my tests it's roughly 5 times faster than the current 
> version of JenkinsHash in the trunk/ . According to the author (and other 
> analysts at comp.sci.crypt) this hash has an excellent avalanche behavior, 
> and low collision rate. I propose to either replace the JenkinsHash or add 
> this hash as an option to be used in BloomFilter-s and related classes.
> If your opinion is positive, I'll prepare a patch. The Java implementation of 
> the hash can be found here: http://www.getopt.org/murmur/MurmurHash.java
