Guava is a suite of core and expanded libraries that include utility classes, google's collections, io classes, and much much more. Guava has two code dependencies - javax.annotation per the JSR-305 spec and javax.inject per the JSR-330 spec. This is a fork of Guava 14.0.1 for Hudson.

The newest version!

/**
 * A {@link PrimitiveSink} that can compute a hash code after reading the input. Each hasher should
 * translate all multibyte values ({@link #putInt(int)}, {@link #putLong(long)}, etc) to bytes
 * in little-endian order.
 *
 * The result of calling any methods after calling {@link #hash} is undefined.
 *
 * 
Warning: Chunks of data that are put into the {@link Hasher} are not delimited.
 * The resulting {@link HashCode} is dependent only on the bytes inserted, and the order in which
 * they were inserted, not how those bytes were chunked into discrete put() operations. For example,
 * the following three expressions all generate colliding hash codes: 
   {@code
 *
 *   newHasher().putString("ab").putString("c").hash()
 *   newHasher().putString("a").putString("bc").hash()
 *   newHasher().putChar('a').putChar('b').putChar('c').hash()}
 *
 * If you wish to avoid this, you should either prepend or append the size of each chunk.
 * For example:
 *    {@code
 *   newHasher().putInt(s1.length()).putString(s1).putInt(s2.length()).putString(s2).hash()}
