NoSQL Systems

Sharding

  • Index key range is partitioned.

  • Or, if order not required, partition hash(key) for a more uniform distribution of data.

  • Each shard represents the records in one partition.

  • Shards are placed on different nodes in the network.

  • Gain scalability by adding nodes and shards.
