Show HN: A Golang Package for Consistent Hashing with Bounded Loads
- khalidlafi 9y agoHi, i'm the author of this package. I wrote it because i couldn't implement Consistent Hashing With Bounded Loads over any pre-existing golang consistent hashing packages in a clean way. Here's the ugly code that made me into doing it: https://github.com/lafikl/liblb/blob/c9c4544834ac7ae7fa6a9cd06907994b83b1b418/bounded/bounded.go#L171 https://github.com/lafikl/liblb/blob/c9c4544834ac7ae7fa6a9cd...

- tyingq 9y agoInitially confused by the title...I thought "loads" was maybe the payload data being hashed. I see now though...it's an approach to use a hash to decide which destination host to select...from a group of hosts used for load balancing.
- kkirsche 9y agoSounds like hashing used in network protocols for things like LACP
