Why does Redis offer range partitioning?

i've read this article(https://redis.io/topics/partitioning#why-partitioning-is-useful) about redis partitioning

i could find that redis offers two partitioning method options, range partitioning and hash partitioning.

for me, range partitioning seems no good compare to hash partitioning in every aspect.

I think range partitioning has some good points but I don't know what they are.

please give me some ideas about it.

Solution

  • Redis does not offer range partitioning.

    Redis offers hash partitioning but only in cluster mode.

    The article you mentioned just gives basic idea about how users can use different partitioning scheme (not only range partitioning but others as well) to distribute their data.
