+# Geode partitioned region example
+
+This example demonstrates the basic property of partitioning, as well
+as what can go wrong with partitioned regions.
+The example is presented in two parts.
+The first part shows partitioning, and the second part demonstrates
+what can go wrong with a flawed implementation.
+
+The basic property of partitioning is that data entries are distributed
+across all servers that host a region.
+The distribution is like database sharding, except that the distribution
+occurs automatically. It is also similar to data striping on disks,
+except that the distribution is not based on hardware.

I don't think this "disk striping" analogy really helps.

> Add a new example to the geode-examples that demonstrates partitioning.
> The example will use the same structure as the replicated example, starting 2
> servers that host a partitioned region (with no redundant copies). Run the
> producer to populate the region. Run the consumer to see the contents of the
> region. Then, stop one of the servers and run the consumer again to notice
> that only roughly half (with 2 servers and hopefully a reasonable hash) of
> the entries are present.
