DHT Implementation

A Simple demonstration to understand the algorithms and operation of Distributed Hash Tables.

Build instructions

go build DHT-implementation
./DHT-implementation

Run as many nodes as you want. The port number will be self-assigned. Just keep 8000 free from other applications.

API routes

1. "/"
   a. Use GET method to retrieve values. Pass this as JSON body.

   {
       "key": "someQueryKey"
   }

   b. Use PUT method to retrieve values. Pass this as JSON body.

   {
       "key":   "someKey",
       "value": "someValue"
   }

   c. Use DELETE method to delete data. Pass this as JSON body.

   {
       "key": "someKeyToDelete"
   }

2. "/data"
   GET method to retrieve all data. No body required.

3. "/node"
   GET method to get all node metadata. No body required.
   Example:

   GET localhost:8002/node
   

Rest of the routes are internal to the function of the application and are being used for inter-node communication.
