This allows users to compare file content efficiently without reading the full file data, by exposing a hash of the chunk IDs and the relevant conditions for valid comparisons, like chunker params, chunker seed/key, id key, key type, etc.
This is based on PR #5167 by @hrehfeld, code + discussion, with some changes:
Example output (different files in same archive):
The fingerprint has 2 parts:
First part: same hash, indicates same chunking / chunk id generation params, meaning that the second part is valid to be compared.
Second part: different hash, because file content is different. same hash here would mean same content.
