Overview

Consistent uses consistent hashing algorithm to assign work to hosts. Its best for the cases when you need affinty, and your hosts come and go. When removing a host it gaurantees that only 1/n of items gets reshuffled where n is the number of servers.

One of the issues with Consistent Hashing is load imbalance when you have hot keys that goes to a single server, it's mitigated by using virtual nodes, which basically means when adding a host we add n - 20 in our case - replicas of that host.

Beware that Consistent Hashing doesn't provide, an upper bound for the load of a host.

If you need such gaurantees see package liblb/bounded.
