Apportioned load

An apportioned load is a divisible load, such that you can load a single data file on more than one node. Apportioned load divides the load at planning time, based on available nodes and cores on each node. Each load starts at a different offset, requiring a parser that supports apportioning. Some of the parsers built into Vertica support apportioned load. Using the SDK, you can write parsers that perform apportioned loads.
