How To Install python3-uhashring on Debian 12
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install python3-uhashring on Debian 12.
What is python3-uhashring
python3-uhashring is:
Uhashring implements consistent hashing in pure Python.
Consistent hashing is mostly used on distributed systems/caches/databases as this avoid the total reshuffling of your key-node mappings when adding or removing a node in your ring (called continuum on libketama). More information and det ails about this can be found in the literature section.
This full featured implementation offers:
- a lot of convenient methods to use your consistent hash ring in real world applications.
- simple integration with other libs such as memcache through monkey patching.
- a full ketama compatibility if you need to use it.
- all the missing functions in the libketama C python binding (which is not even available on pypi) for ketama users.
- possibility to use your own weight and hash functions if you don’t care about the ketama compatibility.
- Instance-oriented usage, so you can use your consistent hash ring object directly in your code (see advanced usage).
- tests of implementation, key distribution and ketama compatibility.
Per node weight is also supported and will affect the nodes distribution on the ring.
