Ring

Development Repository

Experimental: No stable version of this package yet exists; it is still in early development.

Package ring provides a way to distribute replicas of partitioned items to nodes.

An example would be a distributed storage system, storing duplicate copies of each file on different drives, servers, or even data centers based on the assignments given by the Ring.

If you're not entirely sure what consistent hashing is, reading Basic Hash Ring might help.

Partition Ring vs. Hash Ring

Other interesting ideas in this space:
Jump consistent hashing - dgryski implementation also dgryski shared key-value store
Multi-probe consistent hashing - dgryski implementation
GreenCHT replication scheme

This is the latest development area for the package.
Eventually a stable version of the package will be established but, for now, all things about this package are subject to change.
