Overview
These best practices are written by experienced database engineers. Designing for efficiency does more than improve query speed, it decreases costs by reducing storage, CPU, and object storage (e.g., S3) API costs.
Partitioning
Fast analytics in StarRocks begin with a table layout that matches your query patterns. This guide distills hands‑on experience into clear rules for partitioning, helping you:
Table clustering
A thoughtful sort‑key is the highest‑leverage physical‑design knob in StarRocks. This guide explains how the sort key works under the hood, the systemic benefits it unlocks, and a concrete playbook for picking an effective key for your own workload.
Bucketing
A concise field guide to choosing between Hash Bucketing and Random Bucketing in StarRocks, including their mechanics, trade‑offs, and recommended use cases.
Primary Key tables
The Primary Key table uses a new storage engine designed by StarRocks. Its main advantage lies in supporting real-time data updates while ensuring efficient performance for complex ad-hoc queries. In real-time business analytics, decision-making can benefit from Primary Key tables, which use the newest data to analyze results in real-time, which can mitigate data latency in data analysis.
