OPTIMIZE in parallel with actual data load

Dear all

If I understand correctly, OPTIMIZE cannot run in parallel with actual data load. We see 'concurrent update' errors in our environment if this happens; due to which we are unable to dedicate a maintenance window for the tables health.

And, I saw a presentation from DAIS 2025 that says liquid clustering can run in parallel with actual data load.

Please correct the understanding here.

Appreciate the mindshare...
