ReplicationFactor can now be equal to 1. Adding documentation. #27

This fixes some documentation quirks to try to put them in a more correct english. I am not native neither, so please feel free to discuss that.

This also allows the ReplicationFactor to be set to 1 for users who don't want replication but only distribution.

Hello,

Thank you for your interest.

This also allows the ReplicationFactor to be set to 1 for users who don't want replication but only distribution.

This modification is useless and unnecessary. This library implements a consistent hashing function, not a key/value store. Replication is required for even key distribution.
