Thanks for sharing this!! It resembles a system i designed over the last few years (as a hobby project) but much better documented and more professionally written (and not entangled with the rest of my code the way mine is - i just wanted something working without worrying to much about support, reuse etc etc!)
I know at the moment you do not have a distribution strategy as a configurable item but could they be included in the future?
Some additional examples (as well as your hash ring):
:local (to force creation on the local node the code thats creating it is running on)
:notlocal (so must not be on the local node the code creating it is running on)
:roundrobin (one for this node, one for the next node etc etc)
:foreach (create one process on each node in the current cluster)
etc
thanks
