# Hash Functions {#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 {#hash-functions-halfmd5}
[Interprets](../../sql-reference/functions/type-conversion-functions.md#type_conversion_functions-reinterpretAsString) all the input parameters as strings and calculates the [MD5](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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.
``` sql
halfMD5(par1, ...)
```
The function is relatively slow (5 million short strings per second per processor core).
Consider using the [sipHash64](#hash_functions-siphash64) function instead.
**Arguments**
The function takes a variable number of input parameters. Arguments can be any of the [supported data types](../../sql-reference/data-types/index.md).
**Returned Value**
A [UInt64](../../sql-reference/data-types/int-uint.md) data type hash value.
**Example**
``` sql
SELECT halfMD5(array('e','x','a'), 'mple', 10, toDateTime('2019-06-15 23:00:00')) AS halfMD5hash, toTypeName(halfMD5hash) AS type;
```
``` text
┌────────halfMD5hash─┬─type───┐
│ 186182704141653334 │ UInt64 │
└────────────────────┴────────┘
```
## MD5 {#hash_functions-md5}
Calculates the MD5 from a string and returns the resulting set of bytes as FixedString(16).
If you dont 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 {#hash_functions-siphash64}
Produces a 64-bit [SipHash](https://131002.net/siphash/) hash value.
``` sql
sipHash64(par1,...)
```
This is a cryptographic hash function. It works at least three times faster than the [MD5](#hash_functions-md5) function.
Function [interprets](../../sql-reference/functions/type-conversion-functions.md#type_conversion_functions-reinterpretAsString) 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](../../sql-reference/data-types/index.md).
**Returned Value**
A [UInt64](../../sql-reference/data-types/int-uint.md) data type hash value.
**Example**
``` sql
SELECT sipHash64(array('e','x','a'), 'mple', 10, toDateTime('2019-06-15 23:00:00')) AS SipHash, toTypeName(SipHash) AS type;
```
``` text
┌──────────────SipHash─┬─type───┐
│ 13726873534472839665 │ UInt64 │
└──────────────────────┴────────┘
```
## sipHash128 {#hash_functions-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 {#cityhash64}
Produces a 64-bit [CityHash](https://github.com/google/cityhash) hash value.
``` sql
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](../../sql-reference/data-types/index.md).
**Returned Value**
A [UInt64](../../sql-reference/data-types/int-uint.md) data type hash value.
**Examples**
Call example:
``` sql
SELECT cityHash64(array('e','x','a'), 'mple', 10, toDateTime('2019-06-15 23:00:00')) AS CityHash, toTypeName(CityHash) AS type;
```
``` text
┌─────────────CityHash─┬─type───┐
│ 12072650598913549138 │ UInt64 │
└──────────────────────┴────────┘
```
The following example shows how to compute the checksum of the entire table with accuracy up to the row order:
``` sql
SELECT groupBitXor(cityHash64(*)) FROM table
```
## intHash32 {#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 {#inthash64}
Calculates a 64-bit hash code from any type of integer.
It works faster than intHash32. Average quality.
## SHA1 {#sha1}
## SHA224 {#sha224}
## SHA256 {#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\[, N\]) {#urlhashurl-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 {#farmfingerprint64}
## farmHash64 {#farmhash64}
Produces a 64-bit [FarmHash](https://github.com/google/farmhash) or Fingerprint value. `farmFingerprint64` is preferred for a stable and portable value.
``` sql
farmFingerprint64(par1, ...)
farmHash64(par1, ...)
```
These functions use the `Fingerprint64` and `Hash64` methods respectively from all [available methods](https://github.com/google/farmhash/blob/master/src/farmhash.h).
**Arguments**
The function takes a variable number of input parameters. Arguments can be any of the [supported data types](../../sql-reference/data-types/index.md).
**Returned Value**
A [UInt64](../../sql-reference/data-types/int-uint.md) data type hash value.
**Example**
``` sql
SELECT farmHash64(array('e','x','a'), 'mple', 10, toDateTime('2019-06-15 23:00:00')) AS FarmHash, toTypeName(FarmHash) AS type;

This hash function is neither fast nor having a good quality. The only reason to use it is when this algorithm is already used in another system and you have to calculate exactly the same result.
**Returned value**
A `Int32` data type hash value.
Type: `hiveHash`.

## ngramMinHash {#ngramminhash}
Splits a ASCII 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.
Can be used for detection of semi-duplicate strings with [tupleHammingDistance](../../sql-reference/functions/tuple-functions.md#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**
``` sql
ngramMinHash(string[, ngramsize, hashnum])
```
**Arguments**
- `string` — String. [String](../../sql-reference/data-types/string.md).
- `ngramsize` — The size of an n-gram. Optional. Possible values: any number from `1` to `25`. Default value: `3`. [UInt8](../../sql-reference/data-types/int-uint.md).
- `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](../../sql-reference/data-types/int-uint.md).
**Returned value**
- Tuple with two hashes — the minimum and the maximum.
Type: [Tuple](../../sql-reference/data-types/tuple.md)([UInt64](../../sql-reference/data-types/int-uint.md), [UInt64](../../sql-reference/data-types/int-uint.md)).
