David Smiley commented on LUCENE-460:
-------------------------------------

With some time (and thanks to your help) I'm learning *what* it is doing but it 
takes more to know *why*, making it hard to judge how to add in a couple more 
integers into the existing hashCode.  Well... as I've been spending more time 
investigating, I'm feeling a more comfortable.  I would certainly prefer to see 
Integer.rotateLeft(31).

I argue for the more maintainable code -- and that's IntelliJ's version.  I 
also like that it uses super.hashCode(), which leaves the responsibility of 
including the hashcode of boost, which is where that responsibility should lie. 
 Of course the approaches are complementary.

_More generally_, I'm looking to see if it would be bad form of me to outright 
replace a hashCode (or equals) method if it suited me, without feeling obliged 
to consult who coded it in the first place.
