Hi! Where did you get the data at a particular time of the day? I understand the data for the whole day. But, what about specific time of the day?

Consistent Hashing Explained Simply Let's break down consistent hashing in a way that's easy to get. It's a handy technique for distributing data evenly across servers. And if you're more of a visual learner, don't miss the attached video which brings this concept to life. Here's how it works: We don't just hash our data keys; we also hash the server names using the same method. This puts everything on a scale, known as the hash space, which we think of as a big circular ring. So, imagine we've got a few servers. We hash them and place them on this ring. We do the same with our data, hashing it by key. To figure out where to store a piece of data, we travel clockwise on the ring from where the data lands until we bump into a server. Like, data key 0 might end up on server 0, and key 1 on server 1. Adding a new server? Only the data near the new server needs to shift. And if a server has to go? Only the data it was holding needs a new spot. But there's a little challenge: sometimes, data doesn't spread out evenly. The fix? Virtual nodes. They're like mini-replicas of a server placed around the ring. The more virtual nodes we have, the better the balance. But there's a catch: more virtual nodes mean more memory usage for tracking them, and it can make the whole system a bit more complex to manage. – Subscribe to our weekly newsletter to get a Free System Design PDF (158 pages):
