Clustering depth of tables in Snowflake: a potential indicator of clustering health of a table
Clustering depth indicates if micro-partitions are overlapping with one another. Ideally, micro-partitions are not overlapping and are contiguous. Being contiguous means that one micro-partition seamlessly connects with another micro-partition. Sometimes however, micro-partitions are overlapping. A reason for this could be a less than optimal clustering key. Whatever the reason, this is not ideal, because now…
