    For instance, in sensor networks using timestamp keys, writes concentrate in the current time period's partition. Using compound keys—such as prefixing timestamps with sensor identifiers—can distribute this load. [1] An example could be a partition for all rows where the "zipcode" column has a value between 70000 and 79999.

Universal hashing ensures (in a probabilistic sense) that ...
