Interesting.  Sounds like a free lunch. :)

Besides speed, we'd need to make sure Murmur3 gives us as good a hash distribution as Murmur2, so our bloom filter false positive rate doesn't go up -- see BloomFilterTest, which runs with "ant long-test".

> MurmurHash version 3 was finalized on June 3. It provides an enormous speedup and increased robustness over version 2, which is implemented in Cassandra. Information here:
> http://code.google.com/p/smhasher/
> The reference implementation is here:
> http://code.google.com/p/smhasher/source/browse/trunk/MurmurHash3.cpp?spec=svn136&r=136
> I have already done the work to port the (public domain) reference implementation to Java in the MurmurHash class and updated the BloomFilter class to use the new implementation:
> https://github.com/lindauer/cassandra/commit/cea6068a4a3e5d7d9509335394f9ef3350d37e93
> Apart from the faster hash time, the new version only requires one call to hash() rather than 2, since it returns 128 bits of hash instead of 64.
