Possibly, upon inspection I found an entity class with suspicious looking hashCode and equals methods (source generate equals/hashcode is still to hard for some people it seems).  I’m trying to recreate a simple test case, to reproduce.  What’s the simplest rule to generate a RightTupleIndexHashTable?  Will any attribute constraint do e.g.:

BadClass($value : value)

BadClass(value == $value)

Thanks,

   Looks like a bug. Can you please open a JIRA with a test case? My guess is that your rules are changing a fact attribute that is causing the equals()/hashcode() methods of the object to return a different result?

Does anyone know what this would be indicative of?  I've seen it occur periodically at which point I have to discard the session.  I flatten and assert my data, run the rules, and then retract the handles collected on assertion.  I've ensured the fact handle parameter is never null.  I have the stateful session wrapped in a synchronized business façade, so I don't think it should be a concurrency issue (unless I have a bug of course).  I'm running Drools 5 M4.
