title: Generate consistent hash of a UUID
body: <p>I want to generate a consistent hash of a UUID string such as <code>dcc549d8-bd0c-49c2-bff8-f6fa80fb7857</code>, preferably a number between 0 to N.</p>
  
  <p>What is the best and fastest way to do it?</p>
  
  <p>Update: I am thinking of using CRC32. Any pros/cons of it?</p>
