keys distribution between processes
Hi. I have the following task:
I have a server, which support subscription to different topics. One connection supports subscription for up to some limited number of topics, say 1000. I want to subscribe to, say, up to 10000 topics, so I use pool of up to 10 connections. Connections can fail and be restarted. The task is to distribute topics between connections and I would like to avoid manual tracking of which topic belongs to which connection. If number of subscribed topics is low, I would like to migrate topics between connections and shutdown some connections.
If I abstract from topics/connections, task sounds like distributing keys (topics) between processes with some configuration of limits, migration strategy, etc. I’m doing it manually now, but code is more complex than I wanted it to be, and I’m wondering, if there are some libraries in erlang/elixir which support such key distribution algorithms.
ANy suggestions are welcome.

I’m not completely sure what you mean, but if i’ve understood correctly, consistent hashing is what you need. If so, this may help.
