Partitioning methods

Methods for storing different data on different nodes

horizontal partitioning

Sharding

Automatic hash-based sharding with support for hash-tags for manual sharding

Sharding, partitioned with virtual buckets by user defined affinity key. Live resharding for scale up and scale down without maintenance downtime.

horizontal partitioning

by range, hash, list or composite

through RedisGears

Consistency concepts

Methods to ensure consistency in a distributed system
