Stu Hood updated CASSANDRA-1034:
--------------------------------
Issue Type: Bug (was: Improvement)
Component/s: (was: Core)
MD5 collisions are rare enough, so somebody would probably have to write their
own partitioner to trigger this.
> Remove assumption that Key to Token is one-to-one
> -------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CASSANDRA-1034
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-1034
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Stu Hood
> Priority: Minor
>
> get_range_slices assumes that Tokens do not collide and converts a KeyRange
> to an AbstractBounds. For RandomPartitioner, this assumption isn't safe, and
> would lead to a very weird heisenberg.
> Converting AbstractBounds to use a DecoratedKey would solve this, because the
> byte[] key portion of the DecoratedKey can act as a tiebreaker.
> Alternatively, we could make DecoratedKey extend Token, and then use
> DecoratedKeys in places where collisions are unacceptable.
