Data Storage in PDBs (cont)

Assume that partitioning is based on one attribute

Data-partitioning strategies for one table on n nodes:

  • round-robin,   hash-based,   range-based

Round-robin partitioning
  • cycle through nodes, new tuple added on "next" node
  • e.g. i th tuple is placed on (i mod n)th node
  • balances load on nodes;   no help for querying
