[DFW.pm] Deduplication Hackathon: Formal Output Specification

[Tommy Butler]

You may use any hashing/mapping algorithm you like; xxhash was just a
personal choice given it's emphasis on speed.

The "robot" format of output is what must match up with your own
output.  The "human" format is strictly optional, and if you choose to
create a human-readable output format option for your own code, it can
look however you want it to.

Remember to email your ssh key to me if you want server access and the
ability to test your code against the reference data.
