Hello,

I have uploaded updated assignment description. The assignment description consists of 2 changes:

1) Page 3 - table - last row - the start value should be 7 (it was written as 6 previously. I have modified it).

2) page 5 - output - configuration 2 - changed the 'm' value from 10 to 20.

3) First letters in node names should be capitalized (eg:- Node 1, Node 2) to generate the same indexes provided in the examples.

ConsistentHashing.java:

1) I have updated the hash function (from sha3 to md5). It generated collision when sha-512 is used. I have changed the hash function. Now it is collision free.

I appologize for the inconvenience. Please let me know if there is any more bugs in the code.

Hello,

The instructions for running spread server in ifi machines and how to access it from outside has been published in the updated spread tutorial document (check the 5/10/2022 - group session)

Hello Everyone,

There is a change in the server-side caching strategy.  The server cache was supposed to store the data records of different cities. But instead, the change is that the server cache also should follow the same principle as the client cache. The server cache can store the results of the queries. It has been pointed out that the identifying whether the server cache contains the complete information needed to solve query needs some additional data to be stored which would introduce additional complexity. The assignment description has been modified and the updated document is uploaded.
