Databricks Liquid Clustering

[Prashanth24]

Liquid Clustering is a combination of Partitioning and Zordering. As we know, partitioning will create folders based on the column values and stores the similar value. I believe Liquid Clustering will not create folders like partitioning, so how it will take care internally?

why do you think Liquid Clustering uses Z ordering?

I recommend you  read the design paper https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FWR3odjOw4v4-hjFy_hVaNdxHVs4WuK1asfB6M6XEMw/edit#heading=h.skpz7...
