In consistent hashing mode, you can add, remove, and change the weight of the child servers in your DIH without having to reindex all your content. DIH distributes documents among a large, fixed number of virtual nodes, and then assigns the virtual nodes to one or more child servers. When you change the number of weight of a child server, you can use the DREREDISTRIBUTE
index action to redistribute the virtual nodes between the new set of servers without reindexing all the data.
NOTE: You cannot use consistent hashing mode in a distribution architecture with tiered DIH servers.
For more information, refer to the DIH Administration Guide and the DIH Reference.
