By default Predis chooses automatically which hash generator to use:
if a suitable version of ext-phpiredis is loaded (that is, a version
that implements the phpiredis_utils_crc16() function) it uses the new
Predis\Cluster\Hash\PhpiredisCRC16 generator, otherwise it falls back
to the usual pure-PHP Predis\Cluster\Hash\CRC16 generator.
