Class Partition

java.lang.Object

org.opends.server.discovery.Partition

public final class Partition
extends Object

Named set of servers defining a distributed service. A distribution load balancer expects data to be split up into shards referred to as "partitions", each partition exposing the same set of naming contexts, but only a sub-set of the data. For example, a distribution might have two partitions, the first containing all users whose name begins with A-M, and the second containing all users whose name begins with N-Z. Both partitions have the same naming contexts, e.g:

dc=example,dc=com

unsharded parent naming context replicated across all servers.
Contains data common to all partitions, such as ACIs, groups, etc.

ou=people,dc=example,dc=com<

sharded naming context whose content (the users) is split up according to some function, e.g. consistent hashing.
