A pure Elixir consistent hash ring implemention based on the excellent C hash-ring lib by Chris Moos.
The hashring provides fast lookup, but ring creation isn't optimized (though it's not slow). It deliberately does not provide encapsulation
within a GenServer
and leaves that up to the user. At Discord we found using a GenServer
for such
frequently accessed data proved to be overwhelming so we rewrote the hash ring in pure Elixir and paired it with
FastGlobal to allow the calling process to use it's CPU time to interact with
the hash ring and therefore avoiding overloading a central GenServer.
Add it to mix.exs
.
defp deps do
[{:ex_hash_ring, "~> 3.0"}]
end
Create a new HashRing.
alias ExHashRing.HashRing
ring = HashRing.new
{:ok, ring} = HashRing.add_node(ring, "a")
{:ok, ring} = HashRing.add_node(ring, "b")
Find the node for a key.
"a" = HashRing.find_node(ring, "key1")
"b" = HashRing.find_node(ring, "key3")
Additionally, you can also use ExHashRing.HashRing.ETS
, which holds the ring in an ETS table for fast access, if you need
the ring across multiple processes.
{:ok, pid} = HashRing.ETS.start_link(TheRing)
{:ok, _nodes} = HashRing.ETS.add_node(pid, "a")
{:ok, _nodes} = HashRing.ETS.add_node(pid, "b")
And then find a node for a key, using the ETS name provided:
"a" = HashRing.ETS.find_node(TheRing, "key1")
"b" = HashRing.ETS.find_node(TheRing, "key3")
