Why are these changes needed?
When splitting traffic among backends, users may want a single user/session/client's traffic to deterministically map to a given backend to avoid poor UX/increase signal for A/B tests. This is a basic/limited solution, allowing users to specify a "shard key" with each request that will be hashed to map the request to a backend.
This solution is limited in that if the user changes the traffic policy, the mapping for some or all users may change.
