## org.apache.hadoop.util.hash
Class Hash

    java.lang.Object
      org.apache.hadoop.util.hash.Hash

Direct Known Subclasses:
  JenkinsHash, MurmurHash

    public abstract class Hash

extends Object

This class represents a common API for hashing functions.

Field Summary
`static int` | `INVALID_HASH` Constant to denote invalid hash type.
`static int` | `JENKINS_HASH` Constant to denote `JenkinsHash`.
`static int` | `MURMUR_HASH` Constant to denote `MurmurHash`.

Constructor Summary
`Hash()`

Method Summary
`static int` | `getHashType(Configuration conf)` This utility method converts the name of the configured hash type to a symbolic constant.
`static Hash` | `getInstance(Configuration conf)` Get a singleton instance of hash function of a type defined in the configuration.
`static Hash` | `getInstance(int type)` Get a singleton instance of hash function of a given type.
`int` | `hash(byte[] bytes)` Calculate a hash using all bytes from the input argument, and a seed of -1.
`int` | `hash(byte[] bytes, int initval)` Calculate a hash using all bytes from the input argument, and a provided seed value.
`abstract int` | `hash(byte[] bytes, int length, int initval)` Calculate a hash using bytes from 0 to `length`, and the provided seed value
`static int` | `parseHashType(String name)` This utility method converts String representation of hash function name to a symbolic constant.

Method Detail

### parseHashType

    public static int parseHashType(String name)

  This utility method converts String representation of hash function name to a symbolic constant. Currently two function types are supported, "jenkins" and "murmur".

  Parameters:
    `name` - hash function name
  Returns:
    one of the predefined constants

### getHashType

    public static int getHashType(Configuration conf)

  This utility method converts the name of the configured hash type to a symbolic constant.

  Parameters:
    `conf` - configuration
  Returns:
    one of the predefined constants

### getInstance

    public static Hash getInstance(int type)

  Get a singleton instance of hash function of a given type.

  Parameters:
    `type` - predefined hash type
  Returns:
    hash function instance, or null if type is invalid

### getInstance

    public static Hash getInstance(Configuration conf)

  Get a singleton instance of hash function of a type defined in the configuration.

  Parameters:
    `conf` - current configuration
  Returns:
    defined hash type, or null if type is invalid

### hash

    public int hash(byte[] bytes)

  Calculate a hash using all bytes from the input argument, and a seed of -1.

  Parameters:
    `bytes` - input bytes
  Returns:
    hash value

### hash

    public int hash(byte[] bytes,
                    int initval)

  Calculate a hash using all bytes from the input argument, and a provided seed value.

  Parameters:
    `bytes` - input bytes
    `initval` - seed value
  Returns:
    hash value

### hash

    public abstract int hash(byte[] bytes,
                             int length,
                             int initval)

  Calculate a hash using bytes from 0 to `length`, and the provided seed value

  Parameters:
    `bytes` - input bytes
    `length` - length of the valid bytes to consider
    `initval` - seed value
  Returns:
    hash value
