什么是好的一致性 hash 实现

看到微信群有人问 prd 用什么一致性 hash 算法好，就想起了这篇文章。这是以前做的测试。

那么什么是好的一致性 hash 算法呢？除了性能还要考虑哪些因素呢？根据我自己的经验简单聊一下，有不正确的请大家指正 ^^

背景

关于什么是 Consistent Hashing 网上很多，一般用于对于数据状态有一定要求的缓存场景，比如 web session 数据

节点根据算法，映射到环中。用户请求时，根据 id 求出 hash 值，按顺(逆)时针找到的第一个节点，就是存储数据节点。一般为了更加均匀些，同时防止一个节点下线，导致过多数据移动，会将节点按 replica (weight) 复制多个虚拟节点映射到环中。

数据不均匀问题

了解 LB 的都知道，lvs 这些负载均衡设备能做到请求均匀，但经典实现的一致性 hash 是做不到的。具体场景，可能差别更大。测试脚本放到了 consistenthash balance test github[1]，感兴趣的可以看下，测试场景如下：

节点数量：10
虚拟系数：3, 10, 50, 100, 200, 400, 600, 800, 1000
测试算法：MurMurHash, Crc32, Fnv1, CityHash
请求数量：50w

方差可以很好的衡量数据分布程度，可以看到，Crc32 是最差的，Fnv1 在数量很少时也差，MurMurHash 和 CityHash 在虚拟节点超过 100 个后迅速收敛。

diff ratio 指数据分布最多的与最小的差值，除以平均值。从数据分布可以看到， MurMurHash, CityHash 首选的 hash 算法。replica 虚节点数量可以调大一些，毕竟动态增减节点不是常态

另一种方案

冒泡哥提到了一种实现，提前预计算好节点顺序，可以减少分布 diff ratio. 他在生产环境，只用 20 replica 就降低到了 5% 当然了前提是，增加减节点，必须符合一致性 hash 的思想，数据尽可能少的移动。
