In the case of a MergeView, a node might be required to rejoin, meaning that it needs to rehash its keys. This can happen if the node is not in the winning partition.

In this cases, rehash might fail because after the initial DistributionManagerImpl.joinComplete, because joinComplete is still set to true.

Example:
