Just to clarify, client-side == application-side, or the application as a client of the database.
Is client-side hashing really that big a deal?
No, it's not that big of a deal, but I tend to feel that any layer of logic that can be done on the DB end rather than the implementation end is better off in the former. Voldemort is a good example, as noted in the article.
