Claude Warren commented on COLLECTIONS-728:
-------------------------------------------
I think we may have to agree to disagree on this one.
I can think of no way to compare hash function properties and only a
same/not-same comparison possible using the equals() method. Given that there
might be 2 implementations that yield identical results this is not an optimal
solution. The decomposition of the properties into an interface makes it
possible to identify such.
Caching hasher is not part of this code base yet it builds upon it. It was
built on the opportunity created by this code base as a natural upshot of being
able to identify the properties of the hash function. If you wish I will
contribute CachingHasher as part of this code.
{quote}Would those methods that describe hash function's properties be called
from inside this code?
{quote}
They already are using inside this code. It is part of determining if a Shape
is the same for different filters.
