Jonathan Hsieh commented on HBASE-11682:
----------------------------------------
bq. Even though it's not perfect, I think it best to stick with "salt".
I'm not sure if we are on the same page here -- my main point is that "salt" !=
"hash". Also, "salt" != "Prepend a hash". If the term salt causes confusion,
my suggestion is not to use it.
The other mechanisms mentioned (striping/prepened a rand and endian inversion)
are valid strategies to avoid hotspotting as well.
