Using sha1 hashes as filenames

[juris]

Would be great to have an option to use digest hash as filenames, as it was with willtrking's version.

As per aws best practices it is not performance efficient with the current schema, when object is stored with its original filename.

To comply with the best practices, we should rather suggest that the user uses CloudFront as in http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/request-rate-perf-considerations.html#get-workload-considerations, given the workload should rather be GET-request intensive (as the cache is only written once).

The suggestion of adding an hash as a key prefix (not the full key) is rather for a mix of request types (GET but also PUT/POST/DELETE), which may be the case in some implementations of thumbor, but is rather limited IMO. The option could be added though, for those implementations, to add a hash prefix to the file key.

I suppose UUID key usage on POST requests is enough chaotic.
Problem exists on loader + storage when very heavily used as @Bladrak suggests.

Closing this issue as there hasn't been much activity on it. Feel free to re-open if it happens again.
