Description:
TBD
(Books Online description: “Used to synchronize the access to a cache of pages with available space for heaps and binary large objects (BLOBs). Contention on latches of this class can occur when multiple connections try to insert rows into a heap or BLOB at the same time. You can reduce this contention by partitioning the object. Each partition has its own latch. Partitioning will distribute the inserts across multiple latches.”)
