Usage

Here's an example of how to use this package:

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"github.com/irononet/consistent_hashing"
)

func main() {
	// Create a new ConsistentHash instance with 3 replicas and 3 nodes.
	chash := consistent_hashing.NewConsistentHash(3, []string{"node1", "node2", "node3"})

	// Get the node that each key belongs to.
	node := chash.GetNode("my_key")

	fmt.Printf("my_key belongs to node %s\n", node)
}
