Computes cryptographic hashes for local files listed in the input table.
Simply speaking, it generates unique fingerprints for file contents.
It is practically impossible to find 2 different files sharing the same hash value (collision resistence). Besides brute force attempts of trying many inputs, it is also practically impossible to restore the original file content from the fingerprint (oneway function).
- Type: TableFile Path TableTable containing a String column with the local pathes of the files to hash.
