Problem
In accounts-db, we make lists of slots for various tasks. We put these in HashSets/HashMaps, which perform cryptographically secure hashing of the keys. Since we (1) don't always require cryptographic security, and (2) know that slots are unique identifiers, we actually don't need to hash the slot at all, but instead can use it directly.
The
solana-nohash-hashercrate was designed for this.Summary of Changes
Add solana-nohash-hasher to accounts-db.
