A few years ago I created a MySQL table that stores traffic stats per day in a MySQL table (5 columns all INT apart from a date column). I setup this table as partition based on a date range with 1 month being in each partition.

This table is now at 175 million rows and will run out of partitions in December (I set up 50 partitions when I created it)

Question is: can I add more partitions to this table with as little downtime as possible? Or would I need to migrate all the data to another table definition?
