This converter hashes a binary input sample into an unsigned 32-bit quantity using the CRC32 hash function. Optionally, it is possible to apply a full avalanche hash function to the output if the optional <avalanche> argument equals 1. This converter uses the same functions as used by the various hash- based load balancing algorithms, so it will provide exactly the same results. It is provided for compatibility with other software which want a CRC32 to be computed on some input keys, so it follows the most common implementation as found in Ethernet, Gzip, PNG, etc... It is slower than the other algorithms but may provide a better or at least less predictable distribution.
