Research direction

Look at the existing configuration documentation for tables in Pinot (e.g., configuration reference docs for table config). Review the source code for partition handling in Pinot to understand the configuration options. Then draft a new section for the documentation covering partition configuration for offline, realtime, and hybrid tables. Consider linking to relevant Pinot documentation pages.
