After careful consideration, I have decided not to implement a new algorithm.
My proposal is an enhancement of current hash algorithms. It's an extension.
Without changes it will behave like it has always been, since 2004. **It does
not break anything**.
However, if the user wants, via modparam he can activate the extension, so
rehash of hash can happen. As we must know, hash of rehash could lead to same
original failed server. In that case, a loop of rehashing may happen. It's up
to the user to decide how many tries of rehashing. Anyway, if after retrying
hashing still no available server is found, algorithm stops and falls back to
original, sequential implementation. Fully backward compatible.
I expected this place to be an interesting interacting place of ideas and
debating, with several people arguing. For instance, mister @sergey-safarov,
who seemed to like my proposal at issue #2361.
Now, if mister "god" Daniel Constantin Mierla decides to just reject this
proposal, because he just did not like it, or because it's June, we will just
happily use at my work my patched version of kamailio, and we can simply forget
the subject.
This is one of the benefits of open source.
