Abstract
A method and apparatus for dynamically partitioning data across a cluster in a tree-based structure is disclosed. In one embodiment, cache nodes in the cluster are detected. A partition group is formed with members including one or more cache nodes of the cluster. An instance of a cache node in the partition group is copied to each cache node in the partition group. The membership of the partition group is adjusted based on a participation of data in the partition group.
