[Metakit] Find fails in hashed view but works in plain view or
ordered view.

Hashes can be tricky things. Are you sure that you have added all of
your items to the hashed version and not the underlying view? If you
create a hash on a view, it must be done before anything is added I
think.
Ordered views have some nicer properties than hash views and I use
them frequently, a hashed view will start crapping out at around
200,000 rows, a blocked and ordered view can be useful with more than
a million entries.
When using ordered views, if you have negative keys, I have found that
view.locate works better than view.find.
