A question about the Hash algorithm in Hashtable [Kit George]

A question was raised regarding the hash algorithm used in Hashtable by Frank Hileman:
"Any chance that the Hashtable will be changed from the xor/mod prime oldskool type to something modern like this: https://www.isthe.com/chongo/tech/comp/fnv/"

Frank, its unlikely. We may certainly explore the opportunity for a new collection which supports an alternate algorithm, but changing the behavior of the existing class is probably not going to happen.
