Anyone have an idea how it behaves differently from google's jump hash algorithm? The cool thing about google's one is it's so short I can include it in a HN comment:
int32_t JumpConsistentHash(uint64_t key, int32_t num_buckets) {
int64_t b = 1, j = 0;
while (j < num_buckets) {
b = j;
key = key * 2862933555777941757ULL + 1;
j = (b + 1) * (double(1LL << 31) / double((key >> 33) + 1));
}
return b;
}
