Numeric Distribution Partition
The Numeric Distribution Partition defines a partition for a numeric distribution algorithm.
A partition for a numeric distribution algorithm has two parameters: a lower boundary and an upper boundary. When a distribution attribute value is within the range of the numeric partition then the target entry is located in the partition. Note that the distribution attribute type is defined by the numeric distribution algorithm. For example, the numeric distribution algorithm says that the distribution attribute is the 'uid' and the current partition boundaries are [0-1000000]. So an entry with uid=100 is stored in that partition while the entry with uid=2000000 is not.
