As I know there are two model for replication/sharding -> Master/Slave and p2p.

So is consistent hashing (e.g. used by Dynamo or Riak) the implementation of the p2p model?

Riak have masterless replication model, so every node could accept any request. Basically, you could store any data more than once on different nodes by tuning n_val. All requests going to any node, and this node route it further to r nodes. This nodes is chosed by consistent hashing function, applied to key.
