Hot partitions decrease the latency by concentrating traffic on fewer partitions, and you should always design your table to have as few partitions as possible.

Hot partitions increase latency by overloading a single partition, and using a well-distributed partition key design can help mitigate this issue.

Hot partitions have no impact on latency, and the number of partitions is irrelevant to performance.

Hot partitions reduce latency by optimizing the cache, and adding more read capacity units is the only way to solve this issue.

Correct Answer

Hot partitions increase latency by overloading a single partition, and using a well-distributed partition key design can help mitigate this issue.
