I have asked many questions, such as hot table splitting 就是查询时一个表压力大的话就卡住了 能不能把tikv的压力打散一下 - #6,来自 Kongdom - TiDB 的问答社区. The developers don’t know how to do this. They are in a hurry to write code and have KPIs to complete, so they don’t have time to do this kind of research. This is exactly the role of your job.
