Re: [infinispan-dev] Hash calculation in DefaultConsistentHash

Hi, I expect that using the Object hashCode, even within the same VM, will be problematic. Two instances of such a class will not have the same hashCode. Hence using one as a key to insert a value into the cache, then using the other to retrieve the value will not produce the expected results. This is true of pretty much any type of hash table, distributed or not. Your key can not use the Object hashCode method.
