 ### Object Store File Layout
 
 S3 and many other cloud storage services [throttle requests based on object prefix](https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/s3-request-limit-avoid-throttling/). 
-This means data stored in a traditional Hive storage layout has bad read and write throughput since data files of the same partition are placed under the same prefix.
-Iceberg by default uses the Hive storage layout, but can be switched to use a different `ObjectStoreLocationProvider`.
-In this mode, a hash string is added to the beginning of each file path, so that files are equally distributed across all prefixes in an S3 bucket.
-This results in minimized throttling and maximized throughput for S3-related IO operations.
+Data stored in a traditional Hive storage layout can face bad read and write throughput as single table is stored under the same filepath prefix.
