Under what workloads (e.g., specific queries) would consistent hash partitioning be a good/bad choice? 1. Suppose that you need to grow your "cluster" by adding 10 additional nodes to the distributed consistent-hashing "ring" you built in Exercise 2. By any means you choose, count the total number of objects that would migrate from one shard to a new shard if you were to divide the interval [0,pow(2,32)] into 36 shards instead of the preexisting 26 shards.
