Package consistent provides a consistent hashing function. Consistent hashing is often used to distribute requests to a changing set of servers. For example, say you have some cache servers cacheA, cacheB, and cacheC. You want to decide which cache server to use to look up information on a user. You could use a typical hash table and hash the user id to one of cacheA, cacheB, or cacheC. But with a typical hash table, if you add or remove a server, almost all keys will get remapped to different results, which basically could bring your service to a grinding halt while the caches get rebuilt. With a consistent hash, adding or removing a server drastically reduces the number of keys that get remapped.
