Analysis of Sharding and Replication Strategies in NoSQL Databases (3 points)

• For each of the following sharding strategies (lecture 2):
  • Hash sharding
  • Range-based sharding
  • Directory-based sharding
  • Consistent hash sharding
  • Entity/relationship-based sharding
  • Geography-based sharding
  • Time-based sharding
  • Functional sharding
  • Combined sharding.
• Complete the following tasks:
  • Create a table listing the advantages and potential issues of the strategy.
  • Formulate the conditions under which this strategy would be most effective.
  • Provide a specific example of data distribution using this strategy.
  • Create a graphical illustration of this example (diagram, chart, or drawing).
  • Propose a suitable replication strategy to complement this sharding strategy, and briefly explain your choice.
• Prepare a brief conclusion comparing the effectiveness of the examined strategies in various NoSQL database usage scenarios.
• Deadline: Sunday 21. 12. 2025 until 23:59.
