These functions are used to set and retrieve the key and distribution hash functions.

hashkit_set_distribution_function - libhashkit Documentation

hashkit_set_function(), hashkit_set_custom_function() and the distribution equivalents return hashkit_return_t::HASHKIT_SUCCESS on success. hashkit_get_function() and hashkit_get_distribution_function() return hashkit_hash_algorithm_t indicating the hash function used.
