Johanna Amann 5e7915ae7a Remove the siphash->hmac-md5 switch after 36 bytes. ... Currently, siphash is used for strings up to 36 bytes. hmac-md5 is used for longer strings. This switch-over is a remnant of the previous hash-function that was used, which apparently was slower with longer input strings. This change serves no purpose anymore. I performed a few performance tests on strings of varying sizes: For a 40 byte string with 10 million iterations: siphash: 0.31 seconds hmac-md5: 3.8 seconds For a 1080 byte string with 10 million iterations: siphash: 4.2 seconds hmac-md5: 17 seconds For a 18360 byte string with 10 million iterations: siphash: 69 seconds hmac-md5: 240 seconds Hence, this commit removes the use of hmac-md5. This change causes reordering of lines in a few logs. This commit also changes the datastructure for the seed in probabilistic/Hasher to get rid of a type-punning warning.		2020-04-24 13:14:29 -07:00
