-## Hash collisions
-
-Prometheus currently uses 64-bit fingerprints to identify time
-series. On a large server with several million time series, the chance
-of a hash collision is about one to one million (assuming the FNV-1a
-hash function works well). While that might appear safe enough, the
-problem is that a hash collision will effectively lead to undetected
-data corruption. Also, with more powerful hardware and future
-improvements of the Prometheus code, much higher numbers of time
-series might be handled by a single server, increasing the chance of a
-collision. See [Prometheus issue #509](https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/issues/509)
-for efforts to deal with the problem.
