Description

With large Buffers, hashing will block the event loop for quite a bit. An async getETag allows users to move hashing to another thread/process.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Review the current getETag implementation and convert it to an async function, potentially using worker threads or async iterations to avoid blocking the event loop.
