Jump Consistent Hash

Build Status Coverage Status License

An implementation of the jump consistent hash algorithim as described in [A Fast, Minimal Memory, Consistent Hash Algorithim] (https://arxiv.org/pdf/1406.2294v1.pdf).

Example

``` rust extern crate jmphash;

use jmphash::jump_hash;

fn reallycomplicatedhash_function() -> u64 { 42 }

fn main() { let num_buckets = 100;

// first use a hash function of your choice to create a u64 key
let key = really_complicated_hash_function();

// then one can use `jump_hash` to map the key to a bucket
let bucket = jump_hash(key, num_buckets);

} ```
