hard📝 Conceptual Q10 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Understand sequential key impact
Sequential keys cause writes to focus on one tablet, creating hotspots.Step 2: Recognize load balancing importance
Avoiding sequential prefixes spreads writes evenly, improving performance.Final Answer:
To prevent hotspotting and ensure even load distribution across tablets -> Option DQuick Check:
Sequential prefix avoidance = D [OK]
Quick Trick: Avoid sequential prefixes to balance load [OK]
Common Mistakes:
- Confusing key design with compression
- Thinking it reduces storage size
- Assuming it triggers schema changes
