The following are examples of scenarios that benefit from clustering:

  • Tables often filtered by high cardinality columns.
  • Tables with significant skew in data distribution.
  • Tables that grow quickly and require maintenance and tuning effort.
  • Tables with access patterns that change over time.
  • Tables where a typical partition column could leave the table with too many or too few partitions.
