foldhash_portable/
lib.rs

1//! This crate provides foldhash, a fast, non-cryptographic, minimally
2//! DoS-resistant hashing algorithm designed for computational uses such as
3//! hashmaps, bloom filters, count sketching, etc.
4//!
5//! When should you **not** use foldhash_portable:
6//!
7//! - You are afraid of people studying your long-running program's behavior
8//!   to reverse engineer its internal random state and using this knowledge to
9//!   create many colliding inputs for computational complexity attacks.
10//!
11//! - You expect foldhash to have a consistent output across versions or
12//!   platforms, such as for persistent file formats or communication protocols.
13//!   
14//! - You are relying on foldhash's properties for any kind of security.
15//!   Foldhash is **not appropriate for any cryptographic purpose**.
16//!
17//! Foldhash has two variants, one optimized for speed which is ideal for data
18//! structures such as hash maps and bloom filters, and one optimized for
19//! statistical quality which is ideal for algorithms such as
20//! [HyperLogLog](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HyperLogLog) and
21//! [MinHash](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MinHash).
22//!
23//! Foldhash can be used in a `#![no_std]` environment by disabling its default
24//! `"std"` feature.
25//!
26//! # Usage
27//!
28//! The easiest way to use this crate with the standard library [`HashMap`] or
29//! [`HashSet`] is to import them from `foldhash` instead, along with the
30//! extension traits to make [`HashMap::new`] and [`HashMap::with_capacity`]
31//! work out-of-the-box:
32//!
33//! ```rust
34//! use foldhash_portable::{HashMap, HashMapExt};
35//!
36//! let mut hm = HashMap::new();
37//! hm.insert(42, "hello");
38//! ```
39//!
40//! You can also avoid the convenience types and do it manually by initializing
41//! a [`RandomState`](fast::RandomState), for example if you are using a different hash map
42//! implementation like [`hashbrown`](https://docs.rs/hashbrown/):
43//!
44//! ```rust
45//! use hashbrown::HashMap;
46//! use foldhash_portable::fast::RandomState;
47//!
48//! let mut hm = HashMap::with_hasher(RandomState::default());
49//! hm.insert("foo", "bar");
50//! ```
51//!
52//! The above methods are the recommended way to use foldhash_portable, which will
53//! automatically generate a randomly generated hasher instance for you. If you
54//! absolutely must have determinism you can use [`FixedState`](fast::FixedState)
55//! instead, but note that this makes you trivially vulnerable to HashDoS
56//! attacks and might lead to quadratic runtime when moving data from one
57//! hashmap/set into another:
58//!
59//! ```rust
60//! use std::collections::HashSet;
61//! use foldhash_portable::fast::FixedState;
62//!
63//! let mut hm = HashSet::with_hasher(FixedState::with_seed(42));
64//! hm.insert([1, 10, 100]);
65//! ```
66//!
67//! If you rely on statistical properties of the hash for the correctness of
68//! your algorithm, such as in [HyperLogLog](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HyperLogLog),
69//! it is suggested to use the [`RandomState`](quality::RandomState)
70//! or [`FixedState`](quality::FixedState) from the [`quality`] module instead
71//! of the [`fast`] module. The latter is optimized purely for speed in hash
72//! tables and has known statistical imperfections.
73//!
74//! Finally, you can also directly use the [`RandomState`](quality::RandomState)
75//! or [`FixedState`](quality::FixedState) to manually hash items using the
76//! [`BuildHasher`](std::hash::BuildHasher) trait:
77//! ```rust
78//! use std::hash::BuildHasher;
79//! use foldhash_portable::quality::RandomState;
80//!
81//! let random_state = RandomState::default();
82//! let hash = random_state.hash_one("hello world");
83//! ```
84//!
85//! ## Seeding
86//!
87//! Foldhash relies on a single 8-byte per-hasher seed which should be ideally
88//! be different from each instance to instance, and also a larger
89//! [`SharedSeed`] which may be shared by many different instances.
90//!
91//! To reduce overhead, this [`SharedSeed`] is typically initialized once and
92//! stored. To prevent each hashmap unnecessarily containing a reference to this
93//! value there are three kinds of [`BuildHasher`](core::hash::BuildHasher)s
94//! foldhash provides (both for [`fast`] and [`quality`]):
95//!
96//! 1. [`RandomState`](fast::RandomState), which always generates a
97//!    random per-hasher seed and implicitly stores a reference to [`SharedSeed::global_random`].
98//! 2. [`FixedState`](fast::FixedState), which by default uses a fixed
99//!    per-hasher seed and implicitly stores a reference to [`SharedSeed::global_fixed`].
100//! 3. [`SeedableRandomState`](fast::SeedableRandomState), which works like
101//!    [`RandomState`](fast::RandomState) by default but can be seeded in any manner.
102//!    This state must include an explicit reference to a [`SharedSeed`], and thus
103//!    this struct is 16 bytes as opposed to just 8 bytes for the previous two.
104//!
105//! ## Features
106//!
107//! This crate has the following features:
108//! - `nightly`, this feature improves string hashing performance
109//! slightly using the nightly-only Rust feature
110//! [`hasher_prefixfree_extras`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/96762),
111//! - `std`, this enabled-by-default feature offers convenient aliases for `std`
112//! containers, but can be turned off for `#![no_std]` crates.
113//! - `portable`, this feature ensures hash output is identical across all
114//! platforms (endianness, 32-bit vs 64-bit) for the same input. This comes
115//! at a slight performance cost on big-endian and 32-bit platforms. Note that
116//! `write_usize` hashes are still inherently platform-dependent since `usize`
117//! has different widths on different platforms.
