Dynamic Key Space Partitioning

Definition

Dynamic key space partitioning refers to the flexible division of a data storage or address space into smaller, manageable segments that can change over time. This technique allows a distributed system to adapt its data distribution based on network load or data access patterns. It optimizes resource utilization and improves scalability by distributing computational and storage responsibilities across multiple nodes. This method is particularly relevant for sharding strategies in high-performance blockchain networks.
