# System keyspace layout
This section describes layouts and usage of system.* tables.
## system.large\_partitions
Large partition table can be used to trace largest partitions in a cluster.
Schema:
~~~
CREATE TABLE large_partitions (
keyspace_name text,
table_name tex,
sstable_name text,
partition_size bigint,
key text,
compaction_time timestamp,
PRIMARY KEY((keyspace_name, table_name), sstable_name, partition_size, key)
) WITH CLUSTERING ORDER BY (partition_size DESC);
~~~
### Example usage
#### Extracting large partitions info
~~~
SELECT * FROM system.large_partitions;
~~~
#### Extracting large partitions info for a single table
~~~
SELECT * FROM system.large_partitions WHERE sstable_name = 'ks1.standard1';
~~~
