[OpenDHT-Users] Problem with get

[Chad Yoshikawa]

I have the same problem -- e.g., there is one opendht server which would not
accept new PUTs.  So GETs on the key would return nothing (and no error).

The way I solved the problem is to issue multiple gets to K distinct
servers, and return the first non-empty value.  You could also consider
timestamping your puts (by combining the time-of-day with the put value),
and then return the latest GET value you receive.
