Vijay commented on CASSANDRA-3772:
----------------------------------
>>> Added back in a deprecated RandomPartitioner class that identity-derives
>>> from MD5Partitioner for backwards compatibility.
Not sure about this:
May be we should call the MD5Partitioner a random partitioner and not Deprecate
it (Because we might not be able to remove this class for a long long time...
Similar to OldNetworkTopologyStrategy)?
BTW: Jeremy, I was not able to see any Much of a difference using the stress
tool.
> Evaluate Murmur3-based partitioner

> MD5 is a relatively heavyweight hash to use when we don't need cryptographic
