Types

type Hasher

type Hasher interface {
	Sum64([]byte) uint64
}

Hasher is responsible for generating unsigned, 64 bit hash of provided byte slice. Hasher should minimize collisions (generating same hash for different byte slice) and while performance is also important fast functions are preferable (i.e. you can use FarmHash family).

func NewDefaultHasher

func NewDefaultHasher() Hasher

NewDefaultHasher returns an instance of xxhash package which implements the 64-bit variant of xxHash (XXH64) as described at http://cyan4973.github.io/xxHash/.
