NAME

Digest::MurmurHash2::Neutral - Perl XS interface to the endian neutral MurmurHash2 algorithm

VERSION

version 0.001000

SYNOPSIS

  use Digest::MurmurHash2::Neutral qw(murmur_hash2_neutral);
  murmur_hash2_neutral($data_to_hash);

OR

  use Digest::MurmurHash2::Neutral;
  Digest::MurmurHash2::murmur_hash2_neutral($data_to_hash);

DESCRIPTION

This is an implementation of the endian neutral MurmurHash2 algorithm by Austin Appleby. This module was originally written for ZipRecruiter using code from nginx. I used Digest::MurmurHash as a template.

WHY

As stated above, this module is implemented to compatible with nginx's MurmurHash2 implementation, used in the split_clients directive. MurmurHash3 would be faster, but compatibility is the goal here.
