structures

Because of the way HCP stores objects, the you create and the way you store objects in them can have an impact on performance. Here are some guidelines for creating effective directory structures:

Plan the structure for a before storing objects in the . Make sure all users of the are aware of these plans.

Avoid structures that result in a single getting a large amount of traffic in a short time. For example, if you ingest objects rapidly, use a structure that does not store objects by date and time.

If you do store objects by date and time, consider the number of objects ingested during a given period of time when planning the structure. For example, if you ingest several hundred objects per second, you might use a structure such as year/month/day/hour/minute/second. If you ingest only a few per second, a less fine-grained structure would be better.

Follow these guidelines on the size of the structure:

oTry to balance the width and depth of the structure.

oDo not create structures that are more than 20 levels deep. Instead, create flatter structures.

oAvoid placing a large number of objects (greater than 100,000) in a single . Instead, create multiple and evenly distribute the objects among them.
