> Following the Dynamo design, Anna applies a CRC32 hash on the id to assign the actor to a position on the hash ring and applies the same hash function to a key in order to determine the actors responsible for storing the key.

I think this choice is what led to the "hot-partition" hell that early versions of DynamoDB suffered from, is that correct?

Anyone knows how DynamoDB handles this nowadays? What I know is they eliminated the hot-partition issue, at least from the user/developer perspective.
