Hash Functions

Hash functions can be used for the deterministic pseudo-random shuffling of elements.

Simhash is a hash function, which returns close hash values for close (similar) arguments.

halfMD5

Interprets all the input parameters as strings and calculates the MD5 hash value for each of them. Then combines hashes, takes the first 8 bytes of the hash of the resulting string, and interprets them as UInt64 in big-endian byte order.

halfMD5(par1, ...)

The function is relatively slow (5 million short strings per second per processor core). Consider using the sipHash64 function instead.

Arguments

The function takes a variable number of input parameters. Arguments can be any of the supported data types.

Returned Value

A UInt64 data type hash value.

Example

SELECT halfMD5(array('e','x','a'), 'mple', 10, toDateTime('2019-06-15 23:00:00')) AS halfMD5hash, toTypeName(halfMD5hash) AS type;
┌────────halfMD5hash─┬─type───┐
│ 186182704141653334 │ UInt64 │
└────────────────────┴────────┘

MD5

Calculates the MD5 from a string and returns the resulting set of bytes as FixedString(16). If you do not need MD5 in particular, but you need a decent cryptographic 128-bit hash, use the sipHash128 function instead. If you want to get the same result as output by the md5sum utility, use lower(hex(MD5(s))).

sipHash64

Produces a 64-bit SipHash hash value.

sipHash64(par1,...)

This is a cryptographic hash function. It works at least three times faster than the MD5 function.

Function interprets all the input parameters as strings and calculates the hash value for each of them. Then combines hashes by the following algorithm:

  1. After hashing all the input parameters, the function gets the array of hashes.
  2. Function takes the first and the second elements and calculates a hash for the array of them.
  3. Then the function takes the hash value, calculated at the previous step, and the third element of the initial hash array, and calculates a hash for the array of them.
  4. The previous step is repeated for all the remaining elements of the initial hash array.

Arguments

The function takes a variable number of input parameters. Arguments can be any of the supported data types.

Returned Value

A UInt64 data type hash value.

Example

SELECT sipHash64(array('e','x','a'), 'mple', 10, toDateTime('2019-06-15 23:00:00')) AS SipHash, toTypeName(SipHash) AS type;
┌──────────────SipHash─┬─type───┐
│ 13726873534472839665 │ UInt64 │
└──────────────────────┴────────┘

sipHash128

Calculates SipHash from a string. Accepts a String-type argument. Returns FixedString(16). Differs from sipHash64 in that the final xor-folding state is only done up to 128 bits.

cityHash64

Produces a 64-bit CityHash hash value.

cityHash64(par1,...)

This is a fast non-cryptographic hash function. It uses the CityHash algorithm for string parameters and implementation-specific fast non-cryptographic hash function for parameters with other data types. The function uses the CityHash combinator to get the final results.

Arguments

The function takes a variable number of input parameters. Arguments can be any of the supported data types.

Returned Value

A UInt64 data type hash value.

Examples

Call example:

SELECT cityHash64(array('e','x','a'), 'mple', 10, toDateTime('2019-06-15 23:00:00')) AS CityHash, toTypeName(CityHash) AS type;
┌─────────────CityHash─┬─type───┐
│ 12072650598913549138 │ UInt64 │
└──────────────────────┴────────┘

The following example shows how to compute the checksum of the entire table with accuracy up to the row order:

SELECT groupBitXor(cityHash64(*)) FROM table

intHash32

Calculates a 32-bit hash code from any type of integer. This is a relatively fast non-cryptographic hash function of average quality for numbers.

intHash64

Calculates a 64-bit hash code from any type of integer. It works faster than intHash32. Average quality.

SHA1

SHA224

SHA256

Calculates SHA-1, SHA-224, or SHA-256 from a string and returns the resulting set of bytes as FixedString(20), FixedString(28), or FixedString(32). The function works fairly slowly (SHA-1 processes about 5 million short strings per second per processor core, while SHA-224 and SHA-256 process about 2.2 million). We recommend using this function only in cases when you need a specific hash function and you cant select it. Even in these cases, we recommend applying the function offline and pre-calculating values when inserting them into the table, instead of applying it in SELECTS.

URLHash(url[, N])

A fast, decent-quality non-cryptographic hash function for a string obtained from a URL using some type of normalization. URLHash(s) Calculates a hash from a string without one of the trailing symbols /,? or # at the end, if present. URLHash(s, N) Calculates a hash from a string up to the N level in the URL hierarchy, without one of the trailing symbols /,? or # at the end, if present. Levels are the same as in URLHierarchy. This function is specific to Yandex.Metrica.

farmFingerprint64

farmHash64

Produces a 64-bit FarmHash or Fingerprint value. farmFingerprint64 is preferred for a stable and portable value.

farmFingerprint64(par1, ...)
farmHash64(par1, ...)

These functions use the Fingerprint64 and Hash64 methods respectively from all available methods.

Arguments

The function takes a variable number of input parameters. Arguments can be any of the supported data types.

Returned Value

A UInt64 data type hash value.

Example

SELECT farmHash64(array('e','x','a'), 'mple', 10, toDateTime('2019-06-15 23:00:00')) AS FarmHash, toTypeName(FarmHash) AS type;

wordShingleMinHash

Splits a ASCII string into parts (shingles) of shinglesize words and calculates hash values for each word shingle. Uses hashnum minimum hashes to calculate the minimum hash and hashnum maximum hashes to calculate the maximum hash. Returns a tuple with these hashes. Is case sensitive.

Can be used for detection of semi-duplicate strings with tupleHammingDistance. For two strings: if one of the returned hashes is the same for both strings, we think that those strings are the same.

Syntax

wordShingleMinHash(string[, shinglesize, hashnum])

Arguments

  • string — String. String.
  • shinglesize — The size of a word shingle. Optional. Possible values: any number from 1 to 25. Default value: 3. UInt8.
  • hashnum — The number of minimum and maximum hashes used to calculate the result. Optional. Possible values: any number from 1 to 25. Default value: 6. UInt8.

Returned value

  • Tuple with two hashes — the minimum and the maximum.

Type: Tuple(UInt64, UInt64).

Example

Query:

SELECT wordShingleMinHash('ClickHouse® is a column-oriented database management system (DBMS) for online analytical processing of queries (OLAP).') AS Tuple;
