Hash-ConsistentHash Hash::ConsistentHash algorithm distributes keys over fixed number of buckets. Constant hash distribution means that if we add a bucket to a hash with N buckets filled with M keys we have to reassign only M/(N+1) keys to new buckets. What puts apart this module from all similar modules available is that you could ask for non-repeatable series of buckets. Using this property you could implement not only consistent distribution but also redundancy - one key to be directed to more than one bucket.
