Placements of data path service partitions

A system comprising:

• a cluster of computing nodes comprising hardware processors;
• and
• a scheduler to:
• schedule control plane entities in respective computing nodes of the cluster of computing nodes, wherein the control plane entities are proxies for respective data path service partitions in the respective computing nodes, and
• based on a condition of the cluster of computing nodes, modify a placement of a first control plane entity of the control plane entities to change a placement in the cluster of computing nodes of a first data path service partition associated with the first control plane entity;
• the first control plane entity to activate, in a first computing node of the cluster of computing nodes, the first data path service partition in the first computing node;
• and
• the first data path service partition in the first computing node to access data of a first data shard in a data store, wherein data of the data store is partitioned across a plurality of data shards associated with the respective data path service partitions.

A method comprising:

• scheduling, using a scheduler of a control plane, control plane entities in respective computing nodes of a cluster of computing nodes, wherein the control plane entities are part of the control plane, and placements of the control plane entities in the respective computing nodes reflect where respective data path service partitions are to be placed, the respective data path service partitions being part of a data plane to access corresponding data shards in a data store;
• activating, by a first control plane entity of the control plane entities in a first computing node of the cluster of computing nodes, a first data path service partition in the first computing node;
• accessing, using the first data path service partition in the first computing node, data of a first data shard in the data store, wherein data of the data store is partitioned across a plurality of data shards associated with the respective data path service partitions;
• and
• based on a changed condition of the cluster of computing nodes, modifying a placement of the first control plane entity to evict the first control plane entity from the first computing node and place the first control plane entity in a second computing node of the cluster of computing nodes.
