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.

Most hash functions accept any number of arguments of any types.

Note

Hash of NULL is NULL. To get a non-NULL hash of a Nullable column, wrap it in a tuple:

SELECT cityHash64(tuple(NULL))

Note

To calculate hash of the whole contents of a table, use sum(cityHash64(tuple(*))) (or other hash function). tuple ensures that rows with NULL values are not skipped. sum ensures that the order of rows doesn't matter.

BLAKE3

Introduced in: v22.10

Calculates BLAKE3 hash string and returns the resulting set of bytes as FixedString. 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. It returns a BLAKE3 hash as a byte array with type FixedString(32).

Syntax

BLAKE3(message)

Arguments

message — The input string to hash. String

Returned value

Returns the 32-byte BLAKE3 hash of the input string as a fixed-length string. FixedString(32)

cityHash64

Introduced in: v1.1

Produces a 64-bit CityHash hash value.

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.

Info

Google changed the algorithm of CityHash after it was 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.

Note

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.

Syntax

cityHash64(arg1[, arg2, ...])

Arguments

arg1[, arg2, ...] — A variable number of input arguments for which to compute the hash. Any

Returned value

Returns the computed hash of the input arguments. UInt64

Examples

Introduced in: v1.1

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. The function is relatively slow (5 million short strings per second per processor core).

Consider using the sipHash64 function instead.

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).

Introduced in: v1.1

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

use sipHash128Reference for new projects

This 128-bit variant differs from the reference implementation and is weaker. This version exists because, when it was written, there was no official 128-bit extension for SipHash. New projects are advised to use sipHash128Reference.

sipHash64

Introduced in: v1.1

Produces a 64-bit SipHash hash value.

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 using 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.

Note

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.

Syntax

sipHash64(arg1[, arg2, ...])

Arguments

arg1[, arg2, ...] — A variable number of input arguments. Any

Returned value

Returns a computed hash value of the input arguments. UInt64

Examples

Usage example

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

wordShingleSimHashUTF8

Introduced in: v21.1

Splits a UTF-8 string into parts (shingles) of shinglesize words and returns the word shingle simhash. It is case sensitive.

Syntax

wordShingleSimHashUTF8(string[, shinglesize])

Arguments

string — String for which to compute the hash. String
shinglesize — Optional. The size of a word shingle, any number from 1 to 25. The default value is 3. UInt8

Returned value

Returns the computed hash value. UInt64

Examples

Usage example

SELECT wordShingleSimHashUTF8('ClickHouse® is a column-oriented database management system (DBMS) for online analytical processing of queries (OLAP).') AS Hash;
