Specifically, I'm curious about two things - dynamic restructuring
of the cluster in the event of the connectivity loss between its
nodes and the handling of non-2^n nodes case.


Diego Doval created a Resource Location and Discovery system called
Manifold, which is based on two overlay networks. The first, known as
Manifold-b, is used for inexact search while the second, Manifold-g, is used
for exact search. Manifold-g is a DHT based on a hypercube topology. Since a
DHT should never contain all 2^n nodes, he devised a solution to this
problem which involved nodes in the network taking responsibility for the
missing ones. His thesis [1] and a brief explanation of the Manifold-g
algorithm [2] may be of interest.
