Very detailed article. Just one question:

> hashing the datastore name (or ID) with K different hash functions to get h1(D0), h2(D0), h3(D0) … hK(D0)

Why should I use many different hash functions for each virtual node? Shouldn't the hash function be always the same for keys, nodes and virtual nodes?

Are you sure the output of a hash function needs to be shorter length than the input?

I don't think that is correct
