N2 - The problem examined is to distribute a binary cartesian product file on multiple disks to maximize the parallelism for partial match queries. Cartesian product files appear as a result of some secondary key access methods, such as the multiattribute hashing, the grid file etc. For the binary case, the problem is reduce into grouping the 2n binary strings on n bits in m groups of unsimilar strings. The main idea proposed in this paper is to group the strings such that the group forms an Error Correcting Code (ECC). This construction guarantees that the strings of a given group will have large Hamming distances, ie., they will differ in many bit positions. Intuitively, this should result into good declustering.
