# jch-rs - Jump Consistent Hash for Rust

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/beefsack/jch-rs.svg)](https://travis-ci.org/beefsack/jch-rs)

Jump Consistent Hash is a linear complexity [consistent hash][1] algorithm
described in [John Lamping and Eric Veach's paper on the topic][2]

## Example

```rust
use jch;

let key = 5u64;
let num_buckets = 1024i32;
println!("{}", jch::hash(key, num_buckets));
```
