introducing wyhash hash function #2387

Open wangyi-fudan opened 5 years ago

wangyi-fudan commented 5 years ago

Dear All: I would like to introduce wyhash (https://github.com/wangyi-fudan/wyhash) It is a 64-bit little endian portable hash function. It is the fastest one that passed all strict hash function tests (https://github.com/rurban/smhasher). I thinkfoundationdb can make use of it to increase performance.

Unfortunately changing the hash function will not be easy because checksums are durable in the old format.
