I'm not sure if it is because MessageDigest is machine dependent, or I need to explicitly specify a character encoding somewhere, or perhap...
Hi everybody, I have thought a bit about making a somewhat lightweight consistent-hashing-like PHP function to shard uploaded files between different servers.

I didn't want to deal with writing my own logic to connect ...

This is the article which I am trying to follow but not able to follow, to start with my questions are: I understand, servers are mapped into ranges of hashcodes and the data distribution is more fixed and look becomes easy. But how does this deal with the problem a new no...
