Dawid Weiss commented on LUCENE-5604:
-------------------------------------
> by setting a common static seed on JVM init (just System.currentTimeMillis()).
This will render any tests that rely on hash ordering, etc. not-repeatable. I
suggest initializing this to current time millis OR to the current random seed
value (system property 'tests.seed').
> Should we switch BytesRefHash to MurmurHash3?

> MurmurHash3 has better hashing distribution than the current hash function we
> use for BytesRefHash which is a simple multiplicative function with 31
> multiplier (same as Java's String.hashCode, but applied to bytes not chars).
> Maybe we should switch ...
