horizontal partitioning (by key range)

all tables are translated to an ordered KV store and then broken down into 64MB ranges, which are then used as replicas in RAFT

File partitioning

Customizable business rules for partitioning

horizontal partitioning (by range, list and hash)

Shared Nothhing Auto-Sharding, Columnar Partitioning

none

Methods for redundantly storing data on multiple nodes

Multi-source replication using RAFT
