wohali commented on issue #1171: couchdb unable to run on FIPS enabled CentOS URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/issues/1171#issuecomment-366061343 @rnewson mentioned that there are (may be?) places where we still use md5 for security stuff, so the code needs a full audit before making a wholesale change to a non-cryptographic hash function. I'd also like to see performance measurements for FarmHash vs. SHA-256/512 since there is explicit processor acceleration for the latter; those benefits could outweigh those of a non-cryptographic solution.
