Abstract
Various embodiments are described for tracking and enabling access to information about key access patterns for database tables managed by a database service of a service provider network. Storage nodes can store data as key-value pairs (or key-document pairs), where the records or documents of a database are addressed by a unique key for each record. The storage nodes over time receive requests to perform various operations (for example, to get, put, update, or delete data in a table) associated with records stored by the storage nodes. Key access information extractors collect information regarding the keys accessed and send the information to a key tracking service. Key tracker nodes of the service can collect the data and send it to aggregator nodes. The aggregator nodes can determine a frequency with which such requests are received for keys of a partition or table to which the aggregator node is assigned.
