Node.js Consistent Hashing Module (Javascript & C++)
npm install consistent_hashing
var ConsistentHashing = require('./consistent_hashing');
var co = new ConsistentHashing;
co.addNode('node0'); //=> add string
co.addNode(['node1', 'node2', 'node3', 'node4']); //=> add array
console.log(co.getNode('8.8.8.8')); //=> node2
co.removeNode('node2');
console.log(co.getNode('8.8.8.8')); //=> node3
console.log(co.nodes); //=> ['node0', 'node1', 'node3', 'node4']
new ConsistentHashing({
replicas: 128 // default is 256
hashAlgorithm: 'sha1' //default is 'md5'
