[ckan-dev] Resource.hash

Resources have a hash field.

This is used by the datastorer to see if a resource has changed I am
not sure why last modified is not used here.

We have a failing test that seems to be related to this
https://github.com/okfn/ckan/issues/818 as the results are ordered by
hash which I think may be ''

So my questions are.

1) why do we have this field/ what is the usecase ?

2) If it should change when the resource is updated - should this not
be moved into the model so it is always done?

3) should it be even changable by a user?

4) Can we just kill it?
