Parth Chandra commented on DRILL-4119:
--------------------------------------
The XXHash C implementation has a XXH32 function and we should at the least
port that and use it. It might be slower, but will have the advantage of being
more uniform.
> Skew in hash distribution for varchar (and possibly other) types of data

> Project: Apache Drill
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Functions - Drill
> Affects Versions: 1.3.0
> Reporter: Aman Sinha
> Assignee: Mehant Baid
> Fix For: 1.4.0
>
>
> We are seeing substantial skew for an Id column that contains varchar data of
> length 32. It is easily reproducible by a group-by query:
> {noformat}
> Explain plan for SELECT SomeId From table GROUP BY SomeId;
> ...
> 01-02 HashAgg(group=[{0}])
> 01-03 Project(SomeId=[$0])
> 01-04 HashToRandomExchange(dist0=[[$0]])
> 02-01 UnorderedMuxExchange
> 03-01 Project(SomeId=[$0],
> E_X_P_R_H_A_S_H_F_I_E_L_D=[castInt(hash64AsDouble($0))])
> 03-02 HashAgg(group=[{0}])
> 03-03 Project(SomeId=[$0])
> {noformat}
> The string id happens to be of the following type:
> {noformat}
> e4b4388e8865819126cb0e4dcaa7261d
> {noformat}
