Claim 14:
15. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 11, wherein distributing the records stored by the storage system to the available partitions in the storage system based on the number of records in each sub-range while keeping records having a same secondary index partitioning key in a least number of partitions comprises arranging the sub-ranges in a sorted order, combining records of adjacent sub-ranges in one partition of the available partitions if the sum of the number of records in the combined adjacent sub-ranges is less than or equal to a target file count for each partition and splitting records of a sub-range between two or more partitions of the available partitions if the number of records in that sub-range exceeds the target file count for each partition.
