 ###### 10.7.1 Assign Segment ID to Inserted Rows
 
+Master receives *AssignSegIDRequest* which contains a list of *SegIDRequest(count, channelID, collectionName, partitionTag)* from Proxy. Segment Manager will assign the opened segments or open a new segment if there is no enough space, and Segment Manager will record the allocated space which can be reallocated after a expire duration.
