Looking into it, I found a Ruby implementation:

Which depends on a Ruby implemenation of MurmurHash2:

Anyone have any idea what the 23 is for?

  # 23 can be any unsigned 32-bit integer (i.e. from 0 to 2**32 - 1)
  hash_number = MurmurHash.murmur_hash("somestring", 23)

23 is the seed s/he's using for the hasing function it seems.
