Time Frame Minute, hour, month, day, year, forever?
# of Variations One document vs many
Single Document Per Time Frame
None
{ "t" => 336381, "u" => 158951, "2011" => {
"02" => { "18" => { "t" => 9, "u" => 6 } } } }
{ '$inc' => { 't' => 1, 'u' => 1,
'2011.02.18.t' => 1, '2011.02.18.u' => 1, } }
Single Document For all ranges in time frame
None
{ "_id" =>"...:10", "bx" => { "320" => 85, "480"
=> 318, "800" => 1938, "1024" => 5033, "1280" => 6288, "1440" => 2323, "1600" => 3817, "2000" => 137 }, "by" => { "480" => 2205, "600" => 7359,

{ '$inc' => { 'sx.1440' => 1, 'bx.1280' => 1,
'by.768' => 1, } }
Many Documents Search terms, content, referrers...
None
[ { "_id" => "<oid>:<hash>", "t" => "ruby class variables",
"sid" => BSON::ObjectId('<oid>'), "v" => 352 }, { "_id" => "<oid>:<hash>", "t" => "ruby unless", "sid" => BSON::ObjectId('<oid>'), "v" => 347 }, ]
Writes {'_id' => "#{sid}:#{hash}"}
Reads [['sid', 1], ['v', -1]]
Growth Don’t say shard, don’t say shard...
Partition Hot Data Currently using collections for time frames
Bigger, Faster Server More CPU, RAM, Disk Space
Users Sites Content Referrers Terms Engines Resolutions Locations Users Sites
Content Referrers Terms Engines Resolutions Locations
Partition by Function Spread writes across a few servers
Users Sites Content Referrers Terms Engines Resolutions Locations
Partition by Server Spread writes across a ton of servers,
way down the road, not worried yet
