Solussd is absolutely correct, but maybe even more simplistic (or easier to 
grasp) explanation would be to use metadata if you don't want the 
additional (meta)data to change the equality semantics of the map, for 
example:

(def test-desc1 {:number-of-threads 10})
(def test-desc2 ^{:integration true} {:number-of-threads 10})
(def test-desc3 {:number-of-threads 10 :integration true})

(= test-desc1 test-desc2) ;; returns true
(= test-desc1 test-desc2 test-desc3) ;; returns false, because while the 
first two vars reference equal values, the third one doesn't
