A little clarification. When I talk about exclusive bounds, I mean:
"compareTo(ZERO) <= 0" or "compareTo(MAXIMUM) >= 0"
> I meant that what the OP spotted was it's an inclusive maximum <=
That's it Tim, you understood what I meant. Thank you for taking the time
to consider my question.
0 <= hash < (2**127) corresponds to the cyclic group Z/(2**127) so the
maximum is (2**127)-1
So there is indeed a mix up in sourc

oops - I got the wrong number of digits there.

(I may be mistaken) - isn't the range of MD5 value

The maximum is the size of the digest created by MD5.
Does that answer the question?

I believe the question is why is the maximum 2**127 and not
0x

Sorry I don't understand your question.
Can you explain it a bit more or maybe someone else knows.

Thank you Aaron.
This limit was pushed down in RandomPartitioner but the question still
exists...

Hi,
AbstractHashedPartitioner defines a maximum of 2**127 hence an order of
(2**127)+1.
I'd say that tokens of such partitioners are intented to be distributed in
Z/(127), hence a maximum of (2**127)-1.
Could there be a mix up between maximum and order?
This is a detail but could someone confirm
