Range Partitioning: Zero to One

There is a simple trick to manage hash based partition growth
Don't assign small number of tokens, but a much larger one
If you have a million tokens, there is no need to re-shard, and you can re assign tokens to different nodes as your cluster grows

Why can’t hash based partitioning systems just store the full hash with the key for fast rehashing if the number of buckets needs to change, or else recompute the hash?

This is great. Where can I learn more like this?
I am interested in distributed systems and database internals (both traditional and new databases) but find that many database resources tend to be either introductory SQL queries or related to tuning.
