hashdial 1.0.3

A module implementing hash based decision making

Implements, through hashing, decision making that is deterministic on input, but probabilistic across a set of inputs.

For example, suppose a set of components in a distributed system wish to emit a log entry for 1% of requests - but each component should log the same 1% of requests, they could do so as such:

if hashdial.decide(request.id, 0.01):
    log_request(request)
