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. For some data types calculated value of hash function may be the same for the same values even if types of arguments differ (integers of different size, named and unnamed Tuple with the same data, Map and the corresponding Array(Tuple(key, value)) type with the same data).

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 │
└────────────────────┴────────┘

MD4

Calculates the MD4 from a string and returns the resulting set of bytes as FixedString(16).

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 hash function.

The function interprets all the input parameters as strings and calculates the hash value for each of them. It then combines the hashes by the following algorithm:

The first and the second hash value are concatenated to an array which is hashed.
The previously calculated hash value and the hash of the third input parameter are hashed in a similar way.
This calculation is repeated for all remaining hash values of the original input.

Arguments

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

Returned Value

A UInt64 data type hash value.

Note that the calculated hash values may be equal for the same input values of different argument types. This affects for example integer types of different size, named and unnamed Tuple with the same data, Map and the corresponding Array(Tuple(key, value)) type with the same data.

Example

SELECT sipHash64(array('e','x','a'), 'mple', 10, toDateTime('2019-06-15 23:00:00')) AS SipHash, toTypeName(SipHash) AS type;

sipHash128

Like sipHash64 but produces a 128-bit hash value, i.e. the final xor-folding state is done up to 128 bits.

:::note This 128-bit variant differs from the reference implementation and it's weaker. This version exists because, when it was written, there was no official 128-bit extension for SipHash. New projects should probably use sipHash128Reference. :::

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.

Note that Google changed the algorithm of CityHash after it has been added to ClickHouse. In other words, ClickHouse's cityHash64 and Google's upstream CityHash now produce different results. ClickHouse cityHash64 corresponds to CityHash v1.0.2.

Arguments

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───┐

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, SHA512, SHA512_256

Calculates SHA-1, SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-512, SHA-512-256 hash from a string and returns the resulting set of bytes as FixedString.

Syntax

SHA1('s')
...
SHA512('s')

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 can’t 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 SELECT queries.

Arguments

s — Input string for SHA hash calculation. String.

Returned value

SHA hash as a hex-unencoded FixedString. SHA-1 returns as FixedString(20), SHA-224 as FixedString(28), SHA-256 — FixedString(32), SHA-512 — FixedString(64).

Type: FixedString.

Example

Use the hex function to represent the result as a hex-encoded string.

Query:

SELECT hex(SHA1('abc'));

Result:

┌─hex(SHA1('abc'))─────────────────────────┐

BLAKE3

Calculates BLAKE3 hash string and returns the resulting set of bytes as FixedString.

Syntax

BLAKE3('s')

This cryptographic hash-function is integrated into ClickHouse with BLAKE3 Rust library. The function is rather fast and shows approximately two times faster performance compared to SHA-2, while generating hashes of the same length as SHA-256.

Arguments

s - input string for BLAKE3 hash calculation. String.

Return value

BLAKE3 hash as a byte array with type FixedString(32).

Type: FixedString.

Syntax

ngramMinHashCaseInsensitive(string[, ngramsize, hashnum])

Arguments

string — String. String.
ngramsize — The size of an n-gram. 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 ngramMinHashCaseInsensitive('ClickHouse') AS Tuple;

Result:

ngramMinHashUTF8

Splits a UTF-8 string into n-grams of ngramsize symbols and calculates hash values for each n-gram. 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.

sqidEncode

Encodes numbers as a Sqid which is a YouTube-like ID string. The output alphabet is abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789. Do not use this function for hashing - the generated IDs can be decoded back into the original numbers.

Syntax

sqidEncode(number1, ...)

Alias: sqid

Arguments

A variable number of UInt8, UInt16, UInt32 or UInt64 numbers.

Returned Value

A sqid String.

Example

SELECT sqidEncode(1, 2, 3, 4, 5);

sqidDecode

Decodes a Sqid back into its original numbers. Returns an empty array in case the input string is not a valid sqid.

Syntax

sqidDecode(sqid)

Arguments
