ROUNDROBIN
: Chooses the next host from a circular list of hosts in the cluster that are up—for example, in a three-node cluster, iterates over node1, node2, and node3, then wraps back to node1. Each host in the cluster maintains its own pointer to the next host in the circular list, rather than there being a single cluster-wide state. -
RANDOM
: Randomly chooses a host from among all hosts in the cluster that are up.
