[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-6910?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.... ] Dan Berindei edited comment on ISPN-6910 at 8/12/16 8:07 AM: ------------------------------------------------------------- [~rvansa] I guess it depends on what you expect {{MagicKey}} to do... if you want to generate a few keys per test, and you only had a low number of nodes, the chances of failing to generate a key are miniscule. I agree that the error message is pretty bad, but almost every time when 1000 iterations are not enough, it means there's no segment with the combination of owners you want. If, however, you want to generate >10 keys, then I'd argue you don't really want {{MagicKey}}. You'd be much better served by writing a custom {{ConsistentHashFactory}} and/or {{KeyPartitioner}} that put every key in a particular segment, and assign that segment to the intended owners. was (Author: dan.berindei): [~rvansa] I guess it depends on what you expect {{MagicKey}} to do... if you want to generate a few keys per test, and you only had a low number of nodes, the chances of failing to generate a key are miniscule.
