in Feature 6#: Per-partition storage -store old parts of the data in a cheaper store.
how can I do that? I can store part of the data in Vertica and part (the old parts) in the S3 store in the same table?

In an EE mode database, you can set storage locations for data on local disk and S3, then set a storage policy directing old partitions onto S3 location and a policy for current data on local disk. Please see:
https://www.vertica.com/docs/10.1.x/HTML/Content/Authoring/AdministratorsGuide/StorageLocations/CreatingAndConfiguringStorageLocations.htm
The most relevant sections are on "Creating Storage Locations" to create the storage locations on local disk and S3 and "Creating Storage Policies for Low-Priority Data" to assign partitions to the storage locations.
