Title
Body
Came across this today on an app we are deploying across many servers. I was hashing some strings to store in a shared key/value store. The .hash method of String is returning different integers depending on the server. Any ideas why? Note that I am interested in why ; not possible work arounds. Example: server1 $ ruby -v ruby 1.9.2p180 (2011-02-18 revision 30909) [x86_64-linux] server1 $ irb irb(main):001:0> "test".hash => 4146582576695053125 server2 $ ruby -v ruby 1.9.2p180 (2011-02-18 revision 30909) [x86_64-linux] server2 $ irb "test".hash => 3479379392688537032 These machines are EC2 instances with the same specs and build.
