Summary

The schema design essentials page recommended partitions roughly 100x smaller than concepts/partitions for the same data volume (for example, HOUR vs DAY at 50M rows/day). This aligns it with the partitions page, which is the authoritative guidance:

  • Adopt the 30-80 million rows per partition target, replacing "a few hundred MB to a few GB"
  • Replace the interval table with the one from concepts/partitions, which adds WEEK and YEAR
  • Align the trade-off bullets and update the examples (HOUR to DAY for tick data, MONTH to YEAR for end-of-day prices)

The schema design essentials page recommended much smaller partitions than concepts/partitions. Adopt the 30-80 million rows per partition target and the same interval table, including WEEK and YEAR, and update the examples to match.
