golang-kv-store

Distributed key value store with the following characteristics.

Consistency

• Eventually consistent with the use of a shard-level gossip protocol.
• Causally consistency with the use of vector clocks.

Shards

• Nodes evenly distributed into K shards given R replication factor.
• Shards are translated to virtual shards given a virtual shard factor.
  Virtual shards are hashed into a consistent hash ring.

Key Partitioning

• Keys are hashed into a consistent hash ring with predecessor shard
  ownership.
