原题：
How would you split a search query across multiple machines?
题目：如何把一个搜索query分发到多个机器上？
解法：又是“Guy”出的题目。对query字符串算取数字签名，然后对集群的机器数量取模，就可以得到对应落在的机器了。

// Answer:
// The genenral practice of splitting queries across multiple machine, would require two parts:
// 1. convert the query to a digital sign, possibly an integer.
// 2. modulo it by the number of machines in a cluster, this process may be multi-layered.
// Other scheduling strategies may affect the result of splitting, but I think modulo will be a simple and balanced way to split the queries.
