platform/dbops/binaries/redis/src/utils/tracking_collisions.c

/* This is a small program used in order to understand the collision rate
 * of CRC64 (ISO version) VS other stronger hashing functions in the context
 * of hashing keys for the Redis "tracking" feature (client side caching
 * assisted by the server).
 *
 * The program attempts to hash keys with common names in the form of
 *
 *  prefix:<counter>
 *
 * And counts the resulting collisions generated in the 24 bits of output
 * needed for the tracking feature invalidation table (16 millions + entries)
 *
 * Compile with:
 *
 *  cc -O2 ./tracking_collisions.c ../src/crc64.c ../src/sha1.c
 *  ./a.out
