Now that we are using a hash function to determine where jobs go, we have to rethink job replication.

What I think should happen is that a job should go to the closest NUM_REPLICAS servers. This is an extremely natural solution, because jobs then get naturally distributed to nodes. Thus, when a node fails, we don't have to worry about load balancing.
