Mid A. the field whose value decides which node or shard a record is stored on B. a placement scheme that maps keys and nodes onto a ring so adding or removing a node moves only a small fraction of data C. splitting one logical dataset across multiple machines so each holds only a subset of the rows D. adding more commodity machines to share load, contrasted with buying a single bigger server Reveal the answer + AI explanation — free account
