Hi Amit, Yes, I'd recommend using salt buckets. A table cannot "outgrow" the buckets, as we allocate the salt byte by mod-ing with the number of salt buckets. You can set the number of salt buckets based on the size of your cluster. Perhaps 1 or 2x the number of region servers. Do some perf testing and see what works best for your use case and environment. Thanks, James
