# HashDocument

The HashDocument processor calculates one or more hashes and adds the values to the document. Hash values can be used to identify duplicate or related documents. For example, you could calculate a hash from the sender, recipients, and subject of each e-mail, in order to create groups of related messages.

The processor calculates a separate hash for:

- The document content. The value is added to the field `hashes/MD5/content` or `hashes/SHA1/content`.
- The document metadata (or selected fields from the document metadata). The value is added to the field `hashes/MD5/metadata` or `hashes/SHA1/metadata`.
- Each file that is associated with the document. The value is added to the field `part/hashes/MD5` or `part/hashes/SHA1`.
