Chapter 21, Problem 2PE

Explanation of Solution

a.

Load-balanced range partitioning function:

When partitioning data over n disks, range partitioning distributes the records by assigning adjacent attribute-value ranges-each disk.

  • Consider the user has a histogram where values are between 1 and 100

Explanation of Solution

b.

Algorithm:

The algorithm for computing a balanced range partition will be as follows:

  • Let the partitions be p1, p2, p3,….pp and the histogram range be h1, h2, h3,…hh, and the frequencies of the histogram range be n1, n2, n3,….nn.
  • Each partition consists of N/P records, so that N=i=1k(ni)
  • Construct the balanced partitioning sector,
    • Establish the value of  k1th  record, such that k1=N/P .
    • Establish the value of  k2th  record, such that k2=2 xN/P.
    • And so on till the value of kp-1th record, such that kp-1=(p-1)xN/P
