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.
The Numeric Distribution Partition component inherits from the Distribution Partition

| Description | The criticality determines whether a partition must be up, or if it is acceptable to have it down during search operations. This parameter is meaningful only for search requests. If the partition's workflow element is fully saturated, the behavior is based on the criticality parameter: - TRUE: the partition is critical, the search operation is stopped and an UNAVAILABLE result code is returned to the client. - PARTIAL: the partition is partially critical, the search operation continues with other partitions involved in the search. The entries which are retrieved from healthy partitions are returned to the client. A result code of ADMIN_LIMIT_EXCEEDED is returned to the client, which indicates that the entries returned may be incomplete because one or more partitions are fully saturated. - FALSE: the partition is not critical, the search operation continues with other partitions involved in the search. The entries which are retrieved from healthy partitions are returned to the client. No special result code is returned to the client. |
|---|---|
| Default Value | true |
| Allowed Values | false - The partition is not critical. partial - The partition is partially critical. true - The partition is critical. |
| Multi-valued | No |
