v0.19.0

New Features:

• introduced HashStream32::resetAndHashToInt, HashStream64::resetAndHashToLong, and HashStream128:resetAndHashTo128Bits methods for more convenient recycling of hash stream objects
• added HashStream::putUnorderedIterable that takes a HashStream64

Improvements:

• performance optimization of PackedArrayHandler::numEqualComponents for bit size equal to 1

Incompatible Changes:

• removed class XXH3_64 from the public interface, please use corresponding factory method Hashing.xxh3_64 instead
• removed class ConsistentJumpBackBucketHasher from the public interface, please use corresponding factory method ConsistentHashing.jumpBackHash instead

• JumpBackHash: a very fast consistent hash algorithm

Improvements:

• improved performance of HyperLogLog and UltraLogLog merge operations if sketches have same precision
• better performance of hash functions relying on unsigned 128-bit multiplications on Java 21 by using java.lang.Math.unsignedMultiplyHigh

Full Changelog: v0.16.0...v0.17.0

v0.16.0

Improvements:

• optimized performance of distinct count estimators

Full Changelog: v0.15.0...v0.16.0

v0.15.0

New Features:

• new hash function: Java port of PolymurHash 2.0

Improvements:

• optimized performance of putChars for the FarmHashNa hashing algorithm
• optimized performance of the distinct count estimator for HyperLogLog
• optimized speed of consistent hashing based on improved consistent weighted sampling
• reduced risk of an OutOfMemoryError when applying putUnorderedIterable on Iterables of unknown huge (billion range) size

Bug Fixes:

• fixed bug in Murmur3_128 leading to an infinite loop when hashing char sequences of lengths >= 2^31 - 8 = 2147483640

Full Changelog: v0.14.0...v0.15.0

v0.14.0

Full Changelog: v0.12.0...v0.13.0

v0.12.0

New Features:

• new hash function FarmHashNa
• added FastSimHash, a fast implementation of the SimHash algorithm for similarity hashing
• added set and reset methods to the MartingaleEstimator to enable object reuse
• added hashLongLongToLong and hashLongLongLongToLong to the Hasher64 interface for fast hashing (mixing) of 2 or 3 longs

Full Changelog: v0.11.0...v0.12.0

v0.11.0

New Features:

• new hash function: Komihash 5.0

Incompatible changes:

• removed classes AbstractHashStream32, AbstractHashStream64, and AbstractHashStream128 from public interface

Full Changelog: v0.10.0...v0.11.0

v0.10.0

New Features:

• better and slightly more accurate default estimator for UltraLogLog (UltraLogLog.OPTIMAL_FGRA_ESTIMATOR)
• added token support for HyperLogLog and UltraLogLog, which allows 64-bit hash values to be reduced to 32-bit tokens first, which can then be used alternatively for the add operation

Incompatible changes:

• removed UltraLogLog.SMALL_RANGE_CORRECTED_4_GRA_ESTIMATOR (use UltraLogLog.OPTIMAL_FGRA_ESTIMATOR instead)
