hash_ring Description

Implements consistent hashing in Python (using md5 as hashing function) hash_ring implements consistent hashing that can be used when the number of server nodes can increase or decrease (like in memcached).Consistent hashing is a scheme that provides a hash table functionality in a way that the adding or removing of one slot does not significantly change the mapping of keys to slots.Example:Basic example of usage (for managing memcached instances):memcache_servers = ring = HashRing(memcache_servers)server = ring.get_node('my_key')The code should be clean and simple.
