My question is that, the Consistent Hashing ring is formed by the servers within a cluster or across many clusters?
If it is just in one cluster, as my understanding, you may only have a few servers in one cluster such as less than 10, and if so, I wonder whether it is still suitable to use Consistent Hashing in this kind of a small cluster?
If it is across many clusters, then a file may be stored in a server which is far from the client, and as my understanding, it is prohibited to stream from a far way server.
So, I am not clear about your solution, and hope who can help to make it clear.
Thanks and Best Regards,
