Murmur3Partitioner
The Murmur3Partitioner provides faster hashing and improved performance than the previous default partitioner (RandomPartitioner).
The Murmur3Partitioner
provides faster hashing and improved performance than
the previous default partitioner (RandomPartitioner
). You can only use
Murmur3Partitioner
for new clusters; you cannot change the partitioner in
existing clusters. The Murmur3Partitioner
uses the MurmurHash
function. This hashing function creates a 64-bit hash value of the partition key. The possible
range of hash values is from -263 to +263-1.
When using the Murmur3Partitioner
, you can page through all rows using the
token function in a CQL query.
