Thanks for your answer, @Stack! Your approach seems very sane, but I want to add/clarify some aspects:
- I created the table with 32 regions and first byte of my key is used to write in a distributed manner. In this way, the empty regions are at the begin of the initial regions, but seen from the entire range, this regions are in the middle of the keys domain. - Let's say I have more consecutive empty regions. I'm considering 2 options in this situation: merge empty partitions in a bigger one or stick them to the first non-empty region. I think for the second approach I have to disable the table, but I don't see any other problem. Is this right? Thanks, Ionut I.
