murmur is a pure Java implementation of all Murmur hashes, namely, Murmur1, Murmur2 and Murmur3.
The library is a direct Java implementation of the C++ source code. Hash generation has been 100%
unit tested against the hashes generated using the C++ code. The library should help in building
out bloom filters, or to just compute the hash for checking sanity of data, as Murmur3 is much faster
than MD5 and SHA computations.
murmur was developed as we could not find pure Java implementations for Murmur1 and Murmur2 hashes.
Implementations were available for Murmur3 but for some of the legacy code that I maintain, I needed
the Murmur1 and Murmur2 hashes. Thus, I ported the original implementations.
- Pure Java implementations of various Murmur hashes
- 100% hash compatibility with original C++ code
- No dependencies
The MurmurPerformanceTests.java file contains tests to compute hashes of 1-million random type-4 UUIDs
between various Murmur hashes, and MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, and SHA-512 hashes.
The results of a sample run on my dev machine are as under:
Intel i7-2660 CPU @ 3.40Ghz
16-GB RAM
Windows 7, 64-bit, Service Pack 1
Oracle JDK 1.7.0_51 build 13, 64-bit Server VM
| Algorithm | Time Taken (ms) |
|---|---|
| Murmur-2-64 | 102 |
| Murmur-2 | 135 |
| Murmur-1 | 143 |
| Murmur-3-128 | 160 |
| Murmur-3 | 168 |
| MD5 | 369 |
| SHA-1 | 482 |
| SHA-256 | 677 |
| SHA-512 | 906 |
1.0.0
- First release with Murmur 1/2/3 hashes
The library can be downloaded from Maven Central using:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.sangupta</groupId>
<artifactId>murmur</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0</version>
</dependency>The library is continuously integrated and unit tested using the *Travis CI system.
Current status of branch MASTER:
The library is tested against
- Oracle JDK 7
- Open JDK 7
Note: JDK6 has been removed from the list due to end-of-life from Oracle, and as support has been dropped by http://travis-ci.org as well.
For transparency and insight into our release cycle, and for striving to maintain backward compatibility,
murmur will be maintained under the Semantic Versioning guidelines as much as possible.
Releases will be numbered with the follow format:
<major>.<minor>.<patch>
And constructed with the following guidelines:
- Breaking backward compatibility bumps the major
- New additions without breaking backward compatibility bumps the minor
- Bug fixes and misc changes bump the patch
