Abstract
Techniques are described for partitioning and rebalancing data storage, such as through management of database partitions. In one or more implementations, a database that includes existing partitions is repartitioned to include new partitions. A balancing function that uses a skew factor is implemented that skews new data allocation to the new partitions. In at least some implementations, the skew factor can be removed from new data allocation, such as in response to an indication that data allocation between the new partitions and the existing partitions is unbalanced.
