On an Emulator, a DHT node requires only 2 private threads
with any routing algorithm.

In the case, it does not invoke sequential schedules in bulk
and instead defer them for the jump period with showing a message "[Clock jump ...]".
Kills JVM immediately in case that OutOfMemoryError is caught.
It happens when a JVM cannot create a thread, for example.

with the same ID as the routing target ID.

a node requests spare root candidates
to be prepared for failure of the root node.
