Consistent Hashing - Rebalancing Partitions | Systems Design Interview 0 to 1 with Ex-Google SWE

They say if you've been putting too much load on one damsel it's a good sign to shard that and get another to help balance the stress

Jordan has life of the great big sense. Thanks a lot for all of these videos!

[@aleksandr_t]

Great work, thank you for that video

How are we choosing the K locations that belong to Nodes?

[@jordanhasnolife5163]

Uniform random distribution sorry if that wasn't explicit

[@LeoLeo-nx5gi]

How can we avoid hot partition issues in consistent hashing if some nodes are removed ? Also this was quite cool video thanks!!

[@jordanhasnolife5163]

Well generally speaking hot partitions will come up when one key in particular is hot which means it's pretty darn hard to avoid - at that point you have to kinda be clever about sharding even deeper within that key! Great question
