A little WIP implementation of Distributed Hash Table based on Chord
pip install -e git+https://github.com/dash1291/dht#egg=chorddht
After installation, a node can be launched with the following command:
chordnode 192.168.0.100:2000
This will launch a node bound to address 192.168.0.100, and port 2000. This will also be the first node in the network.
More nodes can be added to the network with the following command:
chordnode 192.168.0.100:3000 192.168.0.100:2000
The second argument 192.168.0.100:2000 points to one of the existing nodes in the network.
ChordConnection is the client that can be used to add or fetch data from the network.
Example:
>>> from chorddht.client import ChordConnection
>>> conn = ChordConnection('192.168.0.100:2000')
>>> conn.set('test_key', 'test_value')
>>> True
>>> conn.get('test_key')
>>> 'test_value'One can pass the address of any of the existing nodes in the network.
