public static HashFunction goodFastHash(int minimumBits)
Returns a general-purpose, temporary-use, non-cryptographic hash function. The algorithm the returned function implements is unspecified and subject to change without notice.
Warning: a new random seed for these functions is chosen each time the Hashing class is loaded. Do not use this method if hash codes may escape the current process in any way, for example being sent over RPC, or saved to disk.
Repeated calls to this method on the same loaded Hashing class, using the same value for minimumBits, will return identically-behaving HashFunction instances.

public static int consistentHash(HashCode hashCode, int buckets)
Assigns to hashCode a “bucket” in the range [0, buckets), in a uniform manner that minimizes the need for remapping as buckets grows. That is, consistentHash(h, n) equals:
n - 1, with approximate probability 1/n
consistentHash(h, n - 1), otherwise (probability 1 - 1/n)
This method is suitable for the common use case of dividing work among buckets that meet the following conditions:
consistentHash will handle it. If, however, you are dividing traffic among servers alpha, bravo, and charlie and you occasionally need to take each of the
servers offline, consistentHash will be a poor fit: It provides no way for you to
specify which of the three buckets is disappearing. Thus, if your buckets change from [alpha, bravo, charlie] to [bravo, charlie], it will assign all the old alpha
traffic to bravo and all the old bravo traffic to charlie, rather than
letting bravo keep its traffic.
See the Wikipedia article on consistent hashing for more information.
