Re: Riak doesn't use consistent hashing

The "not found" issue is a different one, but related. The issue there is that when a node joins the ring, the ring state is immediately changed. However, it takes time to handoff partitions to new owners. During that time, if a request comes in for data which has > r of its replicas on partitio
