Consistent Hashing in Java

This repository contains an implementation of consistent hashing in Java. Consistent hashing is a technique used in distributed systems to evenly distribute data across multiple nodes while minimizing the impact of adding or removing nodes from the system.

Features

• Consistent Hashing Algorithm: Implements the consistent hashing algorithm for distributing keys to nodes in a distributed system.
• Virtual Nodes (optional): Supports the use of virtual nodes to improve load balancing and minimize data movement during node additions or removals.
• Hash Function Flexibility: Allows customization of the hash function used for mapping keys to hash values.
• Node Failure Tolerance: Handles node failures gracefully by redistributing keys to neighboring nodes.
• Scalable Architecture: Designed with scalability in mind to handle large datasets and dynamic node configurations.

Technologies Used

• Java: Programming language for implementation.
