Summarize your implementation, including key challenges you encountered

My implementation comprises 2 new software components, totaling 400 added lines of code over the previous implementation. Key challenges included correctly store objects with idential key in its correct node.

Describe how you characterized the correctness and performance of your implementation

Correctness: I wrote 5 tests; these tests take 0.757s to execute.

Performance: Storing and retrieving 1000 5-property objects using a 3-node setup results in following average throughput and latency characteristics: 674.6obj/sec and 1.10 (ms/object) (Note: these objects were pre-generated in memory to avoid accounting for any performance overheads of generating these objects between experiments).

Why is the reconf method designed to first identify all the keys to be relocated and then relocate individual objects instead of fetching all the objects immediately and then pushing them to their corresponding locations?

Roughly, how many hours did this milestone take you to complete?

Hours: 16
