How to Efficiently Query Sharded Order Tables: Redundant, Index, and Gene Methods

When order_id is not the sharding key, querying a sharded order table can require scanning every shard, but three design patterns—data redundancy, an index table, and gene‑based sharding—enable fast single‑shard lookups while balancing storage and complexity.
