主题: Re: why use the job 'itemIDIndex' to convert the itemid to index?

It is necessary. We want to support input where IDs are possibly
64-bit longs, for consistency with the non-distributed code.
But, 64-bit values are too large to be used as indexes into a Vector.
So they are hashed and then un-hashed by a dictionary lookup.
