Riak Core Claim Fixes

[Russell Brown]

Hi,

I wrote up a blog post about two fixes to riak_core_claim made by/with

NHS-Digital.

https://github.com/ramensen/riak_core/blob/rdb/rs-claim-tail-violations/docs/claim-fixes.md

This work follows on from Martin Sumner's post to the list about the

discovery of these issues and some potential fixes

https://github.com/infinityworks/riak_core/blob/mas-claimv2issues/docs/ring_claim.md

back in May of this year.

TL:DR :-

Claim no longer generates rings with avoidable tail violations and

unbalanced vnode distributions.

We're still figuring out the best way to release these as part of a Riak build.

Cheers

Russell
