if the Node 3 or 3rd Server fails, the data & hash for key “Jem” would be shifted to Node 1. Initially, Node 1 was only serving to the key “Jhon”, but now there’ll be an additional load of key “Jem” also on the same server. At the same time, the rest of the hash ring and request-node assignments will remain unaffected, unlike traditional hashing. But load bearing of the corresponding server after the failed server would be high as it'll handle all the previous requests from the hash ring.
