Murmurhash3 implementation is slow on String keys ------------------------------------------------- Key: ISPN-3905 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-3905 Project: Infinispan Issue Type: Enhancement Components: Core Affects Versions: 6.0.0.Final, 6.0.1.Final Reporter: Sanne Grinovero Assignee: Dan Berindei Priority: Minor Fix For: 8.2.0.Alpha1 String instances are a common choice for being used as key entries, still the getBytes() operation being performed allocates costly buffers, and the computation to get those bytes looks like expensive too. I suspect there might be good reasons for not using the String's own hashcode directly as an input to Murmurhash? Still that's what other implementations seem to do.
