- econner 11y agoDynamo is very complex, beyond consistent hashing. It also uses (or used) gossip and lots of tricks (hacks) to gracefully handle adding and removing nodes and distributing data to new nodes, etc. This uses a simple partitioning scheme albeit it does have its own consistency issues.
