Gilles Sadowski commented on COLLECTIONS-728:
---------------------------------------------
bq. how do you propose to move the hash function [...]
In the code which you propose for inclusion in [Collections], nothing requires
serialization (hence the reluctance to impose {{Serializable}}). If some
application requires serialization, it must create an instance of
{{HashFunction}} that can be serialized.
bq. What do you mean by "external code"
You referred to "CachingHasher (from another project)": Another project != this
project.
"CachingHasher" is not part of this code base, yet it dictates an API. I'd be
more comfortable starting with an internally consistent and minimal API. Then
if a use case comes up (like "CachingHasher"), requests for enhancement can be
considered.
bq. The isIterative() question is information about how the hash is constructed
In my (possibly short-sighted) view, [Collections] is the not the place to
define an API for describing hash functions.
Would those methods that describe hash function's properties be called from
inside this code?
