CAP theorem: A system can achieve at most two out of Consistency, Availability, Partition Tolerance
eventual consistency means: all replicas converge to the same state given enough time
Eventual consistency: All replicas converge to the same state given enough time
the union bound says: P(A∪B) ≤ P(A) + P(B)
The union bound states: P(A∪B) ≤ P(A) + P(B)
consistent hashing solves: minimizes key redistribution when servers are added/removed
Consistent hashing minimizes key redistribution when servers are added/removed
the minimax theorem says: in zero-sum games, there's a saddle point strategy
In zero-sum games, minimax theorem guarantees a saddle point strategy
consistent hashing does: minimizes remapping when nodes join/leave
Consistent hashing distributes data across nodes, minimizing remapping when nodes join/leave
