Claim:
1. A method, comprising: creating a plurality of subpartitions from a partitioned namespace of a large scale data storage (LSDS) service, wherein the partitioned namespace corresponds to at least two different name nodes of the LSDS service; creating a partition table assigning subpartitions of the plurality of subpartions among the at least two different name nodes, wherein the partition table designates a first name node of the at least two different name nodes to handle at least two of the subpartitions; indicating, by a range of hash values in the partition table, one or more file paths corresponding to the first name node, wherein the first name node is configured to communicate with one or more data nodes to handle file requests corresponding to the one or more file paths, and storing data corresponding to each subpartition of the subpartitions as a separate file.
