Do you store the hash and the binary data? The hash is a key to the binary
data?

Why is the data changing during migration? Shouldn't a migration preserve
the data and only adapt it if the database model needs to change?

I don't understand what you mean by that. What does it have to do with UUID?
Do you want to generate the MurmurHash in Postgres? Postgres has no builtin
support for that hash function and I can't find any extension in a quick
online search.
Or do you want to just look up rows by the MurmurHash? That's a trivial
SELECT statement. Store the hash in an indexed column of type bytea to have
performant lookups.
