HRW
A library for implementing Rendezvous Hashing (HRW) in Elixir.
About
HRW (Highest Random Weight) is a stateless alternative to consistent hashing algorithms like Discord's ExHashRing. It provides a simpler, functional approach to distributing keys across a set of nodes. The library offers basic HRW, a skeleton implementation for improved performance with a large number of nodes, weighted distribution, and bounded distribution for pre-defined key sets. It's designed for Elixir applications requiring distributed load balancing, rate limiting, or caching.
