 **Problem one:**
 
-If a table does not have a primary key, or the primary key is not the `Int` type and you do not want to generate a randomly distributed primary key ID, TiDB provides an implicit `_tidb_rowid` column as the row ID. Generally, when you do not use the `SHARD_ROW_ID_BITS` parameter, the values of the `_tidb_rowid` column are also monotonically increasing, which might causes hotspots too.

 To avoid the hotspot problem in this situation, you can use `SHARD_ROW_ID_BITS` and `PRE_SPLIT_REGIONS` when creating a table. For more details about `PRE_SPLIT_REGIONS`, refer to [Pre-split Regions](/sql-statements/sql-statement-split-region.md#pre_split_regions).

 #### How to scatter the hotspots?
 
-In TiDB, data is divided into Regions for management. Generally, the TiDB hotspot means the Read/Write hotspot in a Region. In TiDB, for the table whose primary key (PK) is not an integer or which has no PK, you can properly break Regions by configuring `SHARD_ROW_ID_BITS` to scatter the Region hotspots.

+# SHARD_ROW_ID_BITS
+
+This document introduces the `SHARD_ROW_ID_BITS` table attribute, which is used to set the number of bits of the shards after the implicit `_tidb_rowid` is sharded.
+
+## Concept
+
+For the tables with a non-integer primary key or no primary key, TiDB uses an implicit auto-increment row ID. When a large number of `INSERT` operations are performed, the data is written into a single Region, causing a write hot spot.
+
+To mitigate the hot spot issue, you can configure `SHARD_ROW_ID_BITS`. The row IDs are scattered and the data are written into multiple different Regions. But setting an overlarge value might lead to an excessively large number of RPC requests, which increases the CPU and network overheads.
+
+- `SHARD_ROW_ID_BITS = 4` indicates 16 shards
+- `SHARD_ROW_ID_BITS = 6` indicates 64 shards
+- `SHARD_ROW_ID_BITS = 0` indicates the default 1 shard
+
+## Examples
+
+- `CREATE TABLE`: `CREATE TABLE t (c int) SHARD_ROW_ID_BITS = 4;`
+- `ALTER TABLE`: `ALTER TABLE t SHARD_ROW_ID_BITS = 4;`
