I'm curious about something in this article.  You mention in your methodology section that you, "Sequentially apply Z-Order Optimize, Optimize Compaction, and Liquid Clustering."   But the Databricks documentation for liquid clustering states, "Clustering is not compatible with partitioning or ZORDER"   So does that mean if you apply liquid cl;ustering top a table which already uses ZORDER that the liquid clustering optimizations replace the ZORDER  that was specified before it?

Good article and thanks for sharing,
