JenkinsHash

object JenkinsHash extends AnyRef

Original algorithm due to Bob Jenkins. http://burtleburtle.net/bob/c/lookup3.c Scala version partially adapted from java version by Gray Watson. http://256.com/sources/jenkins_hash_java/JenkinsHash.java

This is based on the 1996 version, not the 2006 version, and could most likely stand some improvement; the collision rate is negligible in my tests, but performance merits investigation.

Inherits

  1. AnyRef
  2. Any

Value Members

  1. val MAX_VALUE: Long

  2. def equals(arg0: Any): Boolean

    This method is used to compare the receiver object (this) with the argument object (arg0) for equivalence

    This method is used to compare the receiver object (this) with the argument object (arg0) for equivalence.

    The default implementations of this method is an equivalence relation:

    • It is reflexive: for any instance x of type Any, x.equals(x) should return true.
    • It is symmetric: for any instances x and y of type Any, x.equals(y) should return true if and only if y.equals(x) returns true.
    • It is transitive: for any instances x, y, and z of type AnyRef if x.equals(y) returns true and y.equals(z) returns true, then x.equals(z) should return true.

    If you override this method, you should verify that your implementation remains an equivalence relation. Additionally, when overriding this method it is often necessary to override hashCode to ensure that objects that are "equal" (o1.equals(o2) returns true) hash to the same Int (o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)).

    arg0

    the object to compare against this object for equality.

    returns

    true if the receiver object is equivalent to the argument; false otherwise.

  3. def hash(buffer: Array[Byte], initialValue: Long): Long

    Hash a variable-length key into a 32-bit value

    Hash a variable-length key into a 32-bit value. Every bit of the key affects every bit of the return value. Every 1-bit and 2-bit delta achieves avalanche. The best hash table sizes are powers of 2.

    buffer

    Byte array that we are hashing on.

    initialValue

    Initial value of the hash if we are continuing from a previous run. 0 if none.

    returns

    Hash value for the buffer.

  4. def hashCode(): Int

    Returns a hash code value for the object

    Returns a hash code value for the object.

    The default hashing algorithm is platform dependent.

    Note that it is allowed for two objects to have identical hash codes (o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)) yet not be equal (o1.equals(o2) returns false). A degenerate implementation could always return 0. However, it is required that if two objects are equal (o1.equals(o2) returns true) that they have identical hash codes (o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)). Therefore, when overriding this method, be sure to verify that the behavior is consistent with the equals method.

  5. def hashSeq(xs: Seq[Any]): Int

    Hash a sequence of anything into a 32-bit value

    Hash a sequence of anything into a 32-bit value. Descendants of AnyVal are broken down into individual bytes and mixed with some vigor, and this is summed with the hashCodes provided by the descendants of AnyRef.

  6. def toString(): String

    Returns a string representation of the object

    Returns a string representation of the object.

    The default representation is platform dependent.
