Comparison with jump consistent hash?

[philfreo]

I haven't read through it all but I'm curious if implementing jump consistent hash ( http://arxiv.org/pdf/1406.2294.pdf ) would have the same effect as this library but without the redis dependency? If not, how are they different?

Just a random pass by: JCH is way better than CRC or SHA, the data is more evenly distributed. Performance-wise it's highly recommended to use a native (e.g.Cython) implementation.
