Repartition by Field Range

The processor redistributes the data by the specified fields and redistributes the data as evenly as possible using the specified fields. The processor places records with the same range of values for the specified fields in the same partition, when possible. Use when the data in the specified fields is ordered.

Data is distributed based on the partition creation type that you select:
  • Number of Partitions - The processor creates the specified number of partitions and distributes records with field values within similar ranges in the same partition.
  • Max Records per Partition - The processor performs a count to determine how many partitions are needed and creates the partitions. Then, it writes records with field values in the appropriate ranges to the partitions.
