Consistent Hashing: An Overview and Implementation in Golang

memcached

Distributed caching Consistent hashing is a popular technique for distributed caching systems like Memcached and Dynamo. In these systems, the caches are distributed across many servers. When a cache miss occurs, consistent hashing is used to determine which server contains the required data. This allows the overall cache to scale to handle more requests.

Apache Cassandra

Distributed storage Distributed storage systems like Cassandra, DynamoDB, and Voldemort also use consistent hashing. In these systems, data is partitioned across many servers. Consistent hashing is used to map data to the servers that store the data. When new servers are added or removed, consistent hashing minimizes the amount of data that needs to be remapped to different servers.
