Large partition keys are supported by using the functionality of an enhanced version of the hash function, which can generate a unique hash from large partition keys up to 2 KB. This hash version is also recommended for scenarios with high partition key cardinality irrespective of the size of the partition key. A partition key cardinality is defined as the number of unique logical partitions, for example in the order of ~30000 logical partitions in a container. This article describes how to create a container with a large partition key using the Azure portal and different SDKs.
