Dawid Weiss commented on LUCENE-4919:
-------------------------------------

> I was relying on the hashCode to compute a unique identifier for the content 
> of a particular IntsRef

This is generally an invalid assumption for *any* hashing function with a 
limited target function space. Unless you have something that implements 
minimal perfect hashing but this is typically data-specific (and even 
precomputed in advance).

                
> IntsRef, BytesRef and CharsRef return incorrect hashcode when filled with 0

> 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 \}.
