I still find this confusing, but thanks for the quick response. > In general, you should use uniform types for hash keys.
I thought I was using all ints, but it turns out that a java API returned a long when I thought it returned an int. So then my map had some keys that were ints and some that were long, and some lookups failed, based on whether the keys were in the code path that returned ints vs. the code path that returned longs. What if ints and longs had different literal syntax, i.e. 42 vs. 42L? In my example above, if you take that map, write it to a string and then read it back, the behavior would be different. In the original, the key is a long, and in the reconstituted version, it would be an int, right?
