Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for improved access to rows of data in a distributed data system. Each data row is associated with a partition. Data rows are distributed in one or more files and an impure file includes data rows associated multiple partitions. A clustering set is generated from a plurality of impure files by selecting a candidate impure file based on file access activity metrics and one or more neighbor impure files. Data rows of the impure files included in the clustering set are sorted according to their respective associated partitions. A set of disjoint partition range files are generated based on the sorted data rows of the impure files included in the clustering set. Each file of the set of disjoint partition range files is transferred to a respective target partition.
