A partition can max store 10gb of data. Dynamodb Identifies the data location by passing the partition key to a hash function. Now if for a particular partition key's total data crosses 10GB what will happen? I understand that if total size of a partition is greater than 10GB new partitions are allocated and data is split. My question is what if the item collection of a particular partition key is greater than 10GB, how is that handled ? If new partition is added in such scenario the hashing concept fails right, because a hash can have only one output. Please help me understand this concept.
