Table Options

Spider applications support table-level options, which engage two different features: automatic data aging and sharding. Below is an example in XML:

<table name="Message">

<options>

<option name="aging-field">SendDate</option>

<option name="retention-age">5 YEARS</option>

<option name="sharding-field">SendDate</option>

<option name="sharding-granularity">DAY</option>

<option name="sharding-start">2010-07-17</option>

</options>
