Benoy Antony commented on HDFS-5381:
------------------------------------

This makes sense.

But should we use more standard approach as below ? (auto generated from 
eclipse)

{code}
  @Override // Object
  public int hashCode() {
    final int prime = 31;
    int result = 1;
    result = prime * result + ((block == null) ? 0 : block.hashCode());
    result = prime * result + ((poolId == null) ? 0 : poolId.hashCode());
    return result;
  }
{code}

> {{ExtendedBlock#hashCode}} contains both a block pool ID and a block ID.  The 
> {{equals}} function checks both.  However, {{hashCode}} only uses block ID.  
> Since HDFS-4645, block IDs are now allocated sequentially.  This means that 
> there will be a lot of hash collisions when federation is in use.  We should 
> use both block ID and block pool ID in {{hashCode}} to prevent this.
