Jonathan Ellis updated HBASE-1136:
----------------------------------
Status: Open (was: Patch Available)
> HashFunction inadvertently destroys some randomness
> ---------------------------------------------------

> the code
> for (int i = 0, initval = 0; i < nbHash; i++) {
> initval = result[i] = Math.abs(hashFunction.hash(b, initval) %
> maxValue);
> }
> restricts initval for the next hash to the [0, maxValue) range of the hash
> indexes returned. This is suboptimal, particularly for larger nbHash and
> smaller maxValue. Instead, use:
> for (int i = 0, initval = 0; i < nbHash; i++) {
> initval = hashFunction.hash(b, initval);
> result[i] = Math.abs(initval) % maxValue;
> }
