this rewrites the load balancer which was pointed out to be problematic here:
https://github.com/iron-io/functions/issues/570 with a test suite located at
test/fnlb-test-harness -- this test is now 'passing' in the sense that now
when running multiple functions nodes behind 1 load balancer every call goes
to the same functions node. yay. used a different consistent hashing algorithm
and also threw out all the fallback code (all the code, really).
this is basically an mvp and there is some work that needs to be done for
running multiple load balancers, allowing functions to run on more nodes as
load increases and some basic features like http/2 -- also needs some love to
be really robust; most of this is noted in TODOs in the file.
this does basic health checking configurable in the same way as aws elb. I
think we could probably do gossip but this works as a first cut. after N
health checks fail then requests start to go to a different node, meanwhile
all requests to that node will fail (need to fix). this continues to use
consistent hashing, which is great in that we don't need to store anything,
and we may be able to stick with the strategy in the future with some care.
* lb: library for creation of load balancer
