Abstract
A system provides affinity-based load-balancing distribution of similarity groups. A system generates service hash values by applying a consistent hash function to identifiers of deduplication object services. The system maps the deduplication object services to locations where the service hash values map on a hash ring. The system generates, for each of multiple similarity groups, a corresponding group hash value by applying the consistent hash function to a corresponding group identifier. The system assigns, each of the multiple similarity groups, to one of the deduplication object services which is mapped to one of the locations on the hash ring, which is a first successor to a location where the corresponding group hash value maps on the hash ring, thereby enabling each deduplication object service to deduplicate a balanced load of data file segments identified by assigned similarity groups.
