# CategoryPartition

Allows you to divide up a specified set of documents into several partitions, with every document being assigned to a partition. This option is similar to clustering, but it addresses all documents in a query set. When the partitions have been created, the Category component generates a title for each partition.

You can create categories from your partitions, in a similar way to the CategoryImportFromCluster action.

## Example

    http://12.3.4.56:9020/action=CategoryPartition&DREQuery=finance&NumResults=1000&NumPartitions=10

This action partitions 1,000 documents related to the query `finance` into 10 partitions.
