sounds good thanks! more info on py3 hash here:

> The python hash() function is non-deterministic. As a result, different
> workers will map identical values to different hashes. This leads to
> overestimation of the number of unique values (by several magnitudes, in my
> experience x1000) in a distributed processing model.
