Description

We have implemented a highly availbale and scalable distributed hash table using Chord protocol and implemented schemes for increased performance, replication and cosistency.

Usage

Intialize a Chord ring with a single node

java Chord <Node Name>

Insert a node to an existing Chord ring

java Chord <New Node> <Existing Node Name> <IP Address> <Port No of the Existing Node>

Example:

java Chord Node1 // Create a chord ring with one node, Default Port: 1099
java Chord Node2 Node1 172.31.185.2 1099 // Create a new node (Node2) and add to the existing ring
