Looks good to me Ivan.

Hello!

An auxiliary class EqualByteArray implements hashCode() in a way that small changes to the content do not change the hash value. It is proposed to reuse Arrays.hashCode(byte[]) for the hash code calculations. Also, the private int hash is made non-volatile, as it removes accessing to a volatile variable in the relatively frequently executed code for the price of relatively less likely chance of a double hash code calculation.  (For reference, java.lang.String uses the same approach.) Would you please help review the fix? BUGURL: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8186654 WEBREV: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~igerasim/8186654/00/webrev/
