If we found a way to reverse a hashing function, would that make them ultra-compression algorithms?

• lrzip

  6 595 3.7 C

  Long Range Zip

For example lrzip has an intense "dupe hunting" mode and takes days for large content, but does compress very well once it's done (and expansion is fast). I use it on long term storage backups and disk images and junk. Completely incompatible with streaming, unlike chunk-based like gzip or deflate or etc, although unpacking can stream such as searching or verifying a tarfile archive. But the original source has to be file-based so seeking for the hunting can work across the entire file-as-a-block.
