Abstract

An embodiment includes generating a partition schema for a distributed database based on historical usage data indicative of usage of the distributed database, where the generating of the partition schema comprises determining a partition range of a partition of the partition schema. The embodiment also includes generating a node identifier for the partition using a hash function and a first weight value assigned to the partition. The embodiment also includes monitoring performance data indicative of a performance of the distributed database, the monitoring comprising detecting a failure of the performance to satisfy a performance threshold. The embodiment also includes initiating, responsive to detecting the failure, a redistribution procedure by changing the node identifier of the partition by replacing the first weight value with a second weight value.
