Abstract
A hosted service may limit access to a table initially comprising one or more partitions. Access to the table may be limited to a provisioned capacity. A client of the service may request an increased capacity. A minimum number of partitions for providing the increased capacity may be determined. Proportions of the increased capacity may be allocated among members of successive generations of partitions to be provided by a member of a generation or its descendants. The proportions may be allocated to minimize the costs associated with splitting partitions based on the minimum number of partitions.
