/**
 * This class provides a simple example of a placement algorithm which sends
 * entries to different backend sets based on a hash generated from the value of
 * a specified attribute.  If an entry has multiple values for the specified
 * attribute, then only the first value will be used.  If an entry does not
 * have the specified attribute, then a simple round-robin distribution will be
 * used.
 * <BR><BR>
 * It takes the following configuration arguments:
 * <UL>
 *   <LI>attribute-name -- The name of the attribute from which to generate the
 *       hash.</LI>
 *   <LI>max-characters -- The maximum number of characters to use from the
 *       value when generating the hash.  A value of zero indicates that all
 *       characters in the value should be used.</LI>
