Apply a hashing algorithm

This page explains how to apply a hashing algorithm to column values when youprepare data in the Wrangler workspace of the Cloud Data Fusion Studio.

In Wrangler, you can apply a hashing algorithm, such as SHA, to a column ofvalues. The result is a unique, fixed-length string called thehash value ormessage digest.

When you apply thehash directive to a string column, Wrangler replaces thecontent of the column with the message digest. No new columns are created whenyou apply thehash directive.

You can choose to encode the message digest. If you encode the message digest,Wrangler encodes the values in the column ashex with left-padding zeros.

Cloud Data Fusion supports he following hashing algorithms in the Wranglerworkspace:
