Kannan Muthukkaruppan commented on HBASE-2531:
----------------------------------------------
will post a prelim patch on this soon on review board. Unit tests pass. Did
some cluster testing, and things seemed fine. Migration tests from older
version of HBase servers needs to be done.
> 32-bit encoding of regionnames waaaaaaayyyyy too susceptible to hash clashes

> Kannan tripped over two regionnames that hashed the same:
> Here is code demo'ing that his two names hash the same:
> {code}
> package org;
> import org.apache.hadoop.hbase.util.Bytes;
> import org.apache.hadoop.hbase.util.JenkinsHash;
> public class Testing {
> public static void main(final String [] args) {
>
> System.out.println(encodeRegionName(Bytes.toBytes("test1,6838000000,1273541236167")));
>
> System.out.println(encodeRegionName(Bytes.toBytes("test1,0520100000,1273541610201")));
> }
> /**
> * @param regionName
> * @return the encodedName
> */
> public static int encodeRegionName(final byte [] regionName) {
> return Math.abs(JenkinsHash.getInstance().hash(regionName,
> regionName.length, 0));
> }
> }
> {code}
> Need new encoding mechanism. Will need to migrate old regions to new schema.
