-------------------------------------
Summary: Change the assignToKeyGroup() method to not use
Object.hashCode()
Key: FLINK-5111
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-5111
Project: Flink
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.2.0
Reporter: Kostas Kloudas
Priority: Blocker
Fix For: 1.2.0
Currently we use the Object.hashCode method as an intermediate step to assign
an item to a key group. According to the java documentation:
"This integer (returned by the method) need not remain consistent from one
execution of an application to another execution of the same application."
This means that a key may be assigned to another keygroup after restoring. This
can easily break the semantics of a pipeline.
