PK stands for Primary Key — the object’s record ID — which is always indexed. With this method, customers first query the target table to identify a number of chunks of records with sequential IDs. They then submit separate queries to extract the data in each chunk, and finally combine the results.
With the arrival of the Spring ’15 release, we’re pleased to announce that PK Chunking is a supported feature of the Salesforce Bulk API. Now you can get the performance benefits of PK Chunking without doing all the work of splitting the queries into manageable chunks. You can simply enter a few parameters on your Bulk API job, and the platform will automatically split the query into separate chunks, execute a query for each chunk and return the data.
