Partitioning large table by dates - mysql

Question

I have implemented custom url shortener in my app and I have one table for that. table structure looks like this:
CREATE TABLE `urls` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL,
`url_id` varchar(10) DEFAULT NULL,
`long_url` varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL,
`clicked` mediumint(5) NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
`user_id` varchar(7) DEFAULT NULL,
`type` varchar(15) DEFAULT NULL,
`ad_id` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
`campaign` int(11) DEFAULT,
`increment` tinyint(1) NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
`date` date DEFAULT NULL,
`del` enum('1','0') NOT NULL DEFAULT '0'
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 ROW_FORMAT=COMPACT
ALTER TABLE `urls`
ADD PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
ADD KEY `url_id` (`url_id`),
ADD KEY `type` (`type`),
ADD KEY `campaign` (`campaign`),
ADD KEY `ad_id` (`ad_id`),
ADD KEY `date` (`date`),
ADD KEY `user_id` (`user_id`);
The table now has 20.000.000 records and currently growing by 300k-400k records per day.
url_id column is unique varchar(10) and url looks like that: http://example.com/asdfghjklu
Now i have partitioned this table into 10 partitions by HASH(id):
PARTITION BY HASH (`id`)
PARTITIONS 10;
When I try to generate reports and join this table on others query is getting really slow, so slow even can't get 1 week report.
When I try to make big query in this table I filter almost every query with dates and I think it will be much better if I partition this table by date column.
Is it good idea?
As I read if I want to partition this table by date I need to add date in composite primary key: PRIMARY KEY(id, date)
What do you think about this? How do I improve my query performance?

I wold recommend use hash partition using date or month or YEAR
CREATE TABLE `urls` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL,
`url_id` varchar(10) DEFAULT NULL,
`long_url` varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL,
`clicked` mediumint(5) NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
`user_id` varchar(7) DEFAULT NULL,
`type` varchar(15) DEFAULT NULL,
`ad_id` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
`campaign` int(11) DEFAULT,
`increment` tinyint(1) NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
`date` date DEFAULT NULL,
`del` enum('1','0') NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
PartitionsID int(4) unsigned NOT NULL,
KEY PartitionsID (PartitionsID)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1
PARTITION BY HASH (PartitionsID)
PARTITIONS 366;
IN PARTITION ID you just need to insert TO_DAYS(date) so you have only one value for entire day .
SOURCE
and it will make easy for partition for each day or you can do with month wise also depending on your data size .
for select
you can use below query as example
SELECT *
FROM TT ACT
WHERE ACT.CustomerID = vCustomerID
AND ACT.TransactionTime BETWEEN vInvoiceEndDate AND vPaymentDueDate
AND ACT.TrxnInfoTypeID IN (19, 23)
AND ACT.PaymentType = '1'
AND ACT.PartitionsID BETWEEN TO_DAYS(vInvoiceEndDate) AND TO_DAYS(vPaymentDueDate);
