A method includes distributing, by a load balancer in the computer network, tasks between the plurality of processes. The method further includes maintaining, by the load balancer, a registry for each of the tasks. For a given task, the registry indicates which of the plurality of processes to which the given task is distributed based on a hash function. The method also includes forming, by the load balancer, a respective set of registries for each of the plurality of processes, based on a set of thresholds. The method additionally includes redefining, by the load balancer, the set of thresholds when one of the plurality of processes ceases or a new process, added to the plurality of processes, commences.
