Generate a Murmur Hash

Jim_Knicely

Murmur (Murmerhash) is a modern non-cryptographic hash function having a low collision rate and high performance. It is suitable for general hash-based lookups but not suitable for cryptographic use cases.

Vertica has a built-in function called murmurhash.

Example:

dbadmin=> SELECT murmurhash('VERTICA MURMUR Hash!');
     murmurhash
---------------------
6154089896006532138
(1 row)

dbadmin=> SELECT murmurhash('The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog'),
dbadmin->        hash('The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog');
     murmurhash      |        hash
---------------------+---------------------
