We should deprecate it in 2.1.0, but still allow it to work. It never worked like people expected anyway. Most importantly, we should change all of our code that does this sooner than later.

This is an example of how it could possibly work with entity caching:

  | /entities/[TYPE]/[HASHCODE]
  |                      KEY1 -> UUID1
  |                      KEY2 -> UUID2
  |                      KEY3 -> UUID3
  | /entities/[TYPE]/[HASHCODE]/[UUID1]
  |                      [FIELD_NAME] -> [FIELD_VALUE]
  |                      ...
  | /entities/[TYPE]/[HASHCODE]/[UUID2]
  |                      [FIELD_NAME] -> [FIELD_VALUE]
  |                      ...
  | /entities/[TYPE]/[HASHCODE]/[UUID3]
  |                      [FIELD_NAME] -> [FIELD_VALUE]
  |                      ...
  | 

So a given entity requires 2 node lookups, no matter the number of collisions. There will, of course, be contention on the hashcode, but this is expected.
