[infinispan-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (ISPN-1281) Default consistent hash should use a much larger hash space

[Manik Surtani (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-1281?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12617888#comment-12617888 ] 

Manik Surtani commented on ISPN-1281:
-------------------------------------

Using 0 to Integer.MAX_VALUE instead, since this still sufficiently reduces the probability of a collision. The HotRod protocol won't deal with negative numbers.

> This is to minimise the collisions as reported in ISPN-1275.  It isn't a complete solution but drastically reduces the probability of collision if the hash space spans Integer.MIN_VALUE -> Integer.MAX_VALUE.
