This results in bad distributions because hashCode() quality is > poor. > These hashCode() functions are sometimes written by hand (very poor quality) > and sometimes generated from by commons lang code (poor quality). Applying > some transformation on top of hashCode() provides better distribution. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
