In consistent hashing, what is the primary benefit of adding 'virtual nodes' to the hash ring when a physical node is added or removed?



The primary benefit of using virtual nodes in consistent hashing is to achieve a more uniform distribution of data across physical servers. In a standard consistent hashing setup, servers are placed at a single point on a circular hash ring, which often leads to uneven data loads because physical nodes may not be perfectly sp....
