I want to add a few additional pieces of information that might be helpful to the readers.
The hash-based partitioning is used for static data partitions while algorithms like consistent hashing are used for dynamic data partitions.
Partitioning the data for scaling reads might be an anti-pattern due to the elevated latency from the scatter-gather pattern (latency = slowest partition). Instead, use data replicas for scaling reads. However, the decision depends on the query patterns and data model.
thanks for the wonderful post!
