[infinispan-dev] storeAsBinary: serialize keys, values, or both?

[Sanne Grinovero]

thank you.
Not very critical for functionality, but now I'm wondering if the
consistent hash is being calculated on the binary form of the key?
Just curious if we might end up with inconsistent definitions of
"owner" in case it's possible to have the hash function invoked at
different points of the key's lifecycle (i.e. if at some point it's
calculated on the object form, and in other points of the code it's
calculated on byte[], then something would break).

Especially, if I where to write any custom extension needing to know
the owner of a specific key, if I have to apply some considerations.
