Multithreaded Partition Processing
By default, the JDBC Multitable Consumer origin performs multithreaded partition processing for all tables that meet the partition processing requirements, and performs table processing for all other tables.
To perform multithreaded processing of partitions within a table, you enable partition processing in the table configuration, then specify the partition size and the maximum number of partitions to use. Limiting the number of partitions also limits the number of threads that can be dedicated to processing data in the table.
When you configure a set of tables for unlimited partitions, the origin creates up to twice as many partitions as the pipeline thread count. For example, if you have 5 threads, the table can have up to 10 partitions.
Similar to multithreaded table processing, each thread reads data from a single partition, and each partition can have a maximum of one thread read from it at a time.
When processing partitions, the processing order depends on many factors. For a full description, see Processing Queue.
