             Summary: [Rust] Default to non-cryptographic hash function?
                 Key: ARROW-10554
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-10554
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Wish
            Reporter: Ritchie


THis isn't a major issue/ or even one at all. 

I was wondering how guys are looking towards using a non-cryptographic hash 
function (as SeaHash or Fnv) as default for Schema (and maybe other locations 
in crate). 

Arrow currently defaults to the default HashMap and HashSet. This uses a 
cryptographic hasher to guard you against DOS-attacks, which I believe isn't 
needed most of the time. This extra security has some performance overhead.
