Hi Medha,

The "PARTITION (S int (0hexffff00))" statement is used for scale out cluster 
only for the partitioning of the data across nodes and thus has no effect on 
single server or open source builds.

The index is created as a distinct projection of S & P compressed column wise, 
further details on the Virtuoso column store implementation which discusses the 
architecture in detail can be found at:

RDBMS/Graph Column Store
