Time Series, the new shiny?
Isn't it more about the number of cycles it takes to generate the hash more than it's size, since you're likely to do that very often in a db context?

Probably. I'd venture to say the reason we use SHA is due to its uniform distribution over its speed (or lack thereof.)

I guess it's worth investigating, murmur has been in use by some big names (cassandra, elastic search, hadoop, etc...) for a while in similar contexts.

I was pretty sure (checked almost 2 years ago) that murmur3 had a uniform distribution, too. And in terms of speed is a relatively easy gain
