> Increase hash quality of HashPartitioner
> ----------------------------------------
>
> Key: MAPREDUCE-4827
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-4827
> Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Radim Kolar
> Attachments: betterhash1.txt
>
>
> hash partitioner is using object.hashCode() for splitting keys into
> partitions. This results in bad distributions because hashCode() quality is
> poor.
> These hashCode() functions are sometimes written by hand (very poor quality)
> and sometimes generated from by commons lang code (poor quality). Applying
> some transformation on top of hashCode() provides better distribution.
