Hi Intuz, 

Thanks for your time on this question.

As mentioned - You don’t need to OPTIMIZE manually anymore — Liquid clustering handles clustering in the background automatically.

 - Currently I am partitioning the data to allow the process write in parallel and running a alter table script to add cluster columns like - ALTER table table_name clusterby(x,y,z)

Don't we need to run optimize full on the table because my entire data is essentially truncated and reloaded. Will optimize runs automatically?
