Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-4919:
-------------------------------------
The hashcode here is not arbitrary, as mentioned in the javadocs:
{noformat}
/** Calculates the hash code as required by TermsHash during indexing.
* <p>It is defined as:
* <pre class="prettyprint">
* int hash = 0;
* for (int i = offset; i < offset + length; i++) {
* hash = 31*hash + bytes[i];
* }
* </pre>
*/
{noformat}
There is code in BytesRefHash that relies upon this.
> IntsRef, BytesRef and CharsRef return incorrect hashcode when filled with 0

> Project: Lucene - Core

> Components: core/other
> Affects Versions: 4.2

> Fix For: 4.3

> Attachments: LUCENE-4919.patch

>
> IntsRef, BytesRef and CharsRef implementation do not follow the java
> Arrays.hashCode implementation, and return incorrect hashcode when filled
> with 0.
> For example, an IntsRef with \{ 0 \} will return the same hashcode than an
> IntsRef with \{ 0, 0 \}.
