CityHash¶
Explanation¶
CityHash is a relatively newer hash function raised by Google, which is similar in speed to traditional hash algorithms such as fnvhash/ murmur etc. , but with a lower probability of collision
The code included is implemented in C++ by escherba/python-cityhash , but because the repo has not been maintained for a long time, while most of the pypi projects that can use the CityHash algorithm only support installation on linux, we integrated them into this project for better compatibility.
Usage¶
from fnvhash_c import CityHash32 , CityHash64 , CityHash128
# Note that due to implementation differences, cityhash accepts a str object, which is
# different from fnvhash who accept a bytes.
string = "hello world"
print(CityHash64(string))
