A close approximation of uniform randomness in the inputs ensures that the error guarantees laid out in the original paper hold. We've empirically determined that [MurmurHash 3](https://github.com/google/guava/blob/master/android/guava/src/com/google/common/hash/Murmur3_128HashFunction.java), from Google's Guava, is an excellent and fast hash function to use in conjunction with `java-hll` module. The seed to the hash call must remain constant for all inputs to a given HLL. Similarly, if one plans to compute the union of two HLLs, the input values must have been hashed using the same seed.
