The granted patent (Publication Number: US11899641B2) describes a database system comprising a cluster of database nodes that store a distributed database. Each database node stores partitions of the database, with each partition containing database rows. The system includes processors and memory storing instructions that enable the processors to access keys for records, convert keys into byte-comparable sequences, reference partition trie indexes to determine the database partition, and access records within the distributed database.

Furthermore, the patent details the utilization of partition trie indexes and row trie indexes to index records stored within the database system. These trie data structures map sequences of byte values to database location values, facilitating efficient access to records within the distributed database. The system's design allows for the seamless storage and retrieval of data across multiple database nodes, enhancing the overall performance and scalability of the database system.
