Patch applies, compiles, pgbench & global "make check" ok, doc built ok.
Agree.
If I understand upthread correctly, implementation of Murmur hash algorithm
based on Austin Appleby work
https://github.com/aappleby/smhasher/blob/master/src/MurmurHash2.cpp
If so, I have notice and objections:
1) Seems, it's good idea to add credits to Austin Appleby to comments.
2) Reference implementaion directly says (link above):
// 2. It will not produce the same results on little-endian and big-endian
// machines.
I don't think that is good thing for testing and benchmarking for several
reasons: it could produce different data collection, different selects,
different distribution.
3) Again, from comments of reference implementation:
// Note - This code makes a few assumptions about how your machine behaves -
// 1. We can read a 4-byte value from any address without crashing
It's not true for all supported platforms. Any box with strict aligment will
SIGBUSed here.
