  2. Key clustering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_clustering

    Key or hash function should avoid clustering, the mapping of two or more keys to consecutive slots. Such clustering may cause the lookup cost to skyrocket, even if the load factor is low and collisions are infrequent. The popular multiplicative hash [1] is claimed to have particularly poor clustering behaviour. [2]

  3. Snowflake Inc. - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowflake_Inc.

    Snowflake Inc. is an American cloud-based data storage company. Headquartered in Bozeman, Montana , it operates a platform that allows for data analysis and simultaneous access of data sets with minimal latency . [ 1 ]

  4. Database index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_index

    This may improve the joins of these tables on the cluster key, since the matching records are stored together and less I/O is required to locate them. [2] The cluster configuration defines the data layout in the tables that are parts of the cluster. A cluster can be keyed with a B-tree index or a hash table. The data block where the table ...

  5. Distributed hash table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_hash_table

    Keys are unique identifiers which map to particular values, which in turn can be anything from addresses, to documents, to arbitrary data. [2] Responsibility for maintaining the mapping from keys to values is distributed among the nodes, in such a way that a change in the set of participants causes a minimal amount of disruption.

  6. Cluster analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cluster_analysis

    Cluster analysis or clustering is the task of grouping a set of objects in such a way that objects in the same group (called a cluster) are more similar (in some specific sense defined by the analyst) to each other than to those in other groups (clusters).

  7. Snowflake schema - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowflake_schema

    The snowflake schema is in the same family as the star schema logical model. In fact, the star schema is considered a special case of the snowflake schema. The snowflake schema provides some advantages over the star schema in certain situations, including: Some OLAP multidimensional database modeling tools are optimized for snowflake schemas. [3]

  8. Clustering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clustering

    Data cluster, an allocation of contiguous storage in databases and file systems; Cluster analysis, the statistical task of grouping a set of objects in such a way that objects in the same group are placed closer together (such as the k-means clustering) In hash tables, the mapping of keys to nearby slots; In economics:

  9. Shard (database architecture) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shard_(database_architecture)

    A database shard, or simply a shard, is a horizontal partition of data in a database or search engine. Each shard may be held on a separate database server instance, to spread load. Some data in a database remains present in all shards, [a] but some appears only in a single shard. Each shard acts as the single source for this subset of data.
