Just dump the HashFiler, it doesn't work right and it's slow anyway since it still uses a BTree to track keys.

HashFiler seems pretty broken (I ran that stress tests and it locked up).
It's been marked as depricated, but with no one to maintain it (unless
there is a volunteer out there) I don't see it's issues being resolved.


I see three way forward:

Scratch it. Move it to scratchpad as an unsupported element.
Fix it. Resolve it's issues (if they are indeed resolvable).
Warnings. Emit a warning level log message for every public method call
saying this class is depricated and broken, please switch to one of the
other filers.


Personally I'm scratch +1

There is a fourth option. Ignore it, but that provides no way forward so I
haven't proposed it.



I don't know the right answer as I have never worked with it :)
