The OPTIMIZE ZORDER operation now uses Hilbert space-filling curves by default. This approach provides better clustering characteristics than Z-order in higher dimensions. For Delta tables using OPTIMIZE ZORDER with many columns, Hilbert curves can speed up read queries by skipping more data than Z-order. For details, see Z-Ordering (multi-dimensional clustering).
