DATA PARTITIONING APPARATUS FOR DISTRIBUTED DATA STORAGES AND METHOD THEREOF

PURPOSE: A data partitioning device and method for distributed data storage units are provided to efficiently process the storage, inquiry, and analysis of mass data. CONSTITUTION: A data partitioning device(300) for distributed data storage units is equipped with a request analysis part(310), a partitioning processing part(320) and an instruction execution part(330). The request analysis part analyzes a processing object key value inputted from the outside and a processing instruction corresponding to the processing object key value. The partitioning processing part finds the number of a block where the inputted processing object key value belongs, based on the blocks formed by grouping key values uniquely assigned to each data by the unit of fixed numbers. The instruction execution part transmits the key value to a data storage unit determined by the partitioning processing part and instructs the data storage unit to perform an operation corresponding to the processing instruction.
