Hi Ovidiu,
at the moment it is not possible to plugin a user defined hash function/key
group assignment function. If you like, then you can file a JIRA issue to
add this functionality.
The key group assignment in your example looks quite skewed. One question
concerning how you calculated it: Shouldn't the number of element in each
group sum up to 1024? this only works for the first case. What do the
numbers mean then?
Cheers,
Till
