Box 1: Hash

Scenario:

Ensure that queries joining and filtering sales transaction records based on product ID complete as quickly as possible.

A hash distributed table can deliver the highest query performance for joins and aggregations on large tables.

Box 2: Round-robin

Scenario:

You plan to create a promotional table that will contain a promotion ID. The promotion ID will be associated to a specific product. The product will be identified by a product ID. The table will be approximately 5 GB.

A round-robin table is the most straightforward table to create and delivers fast performance when used as a staging table for loads.

These are some scenarios where you should choose Round robin distribution:

✑ When you cannot identify a single key to distribute your data.

✑ If your data doesn’t frequently join with data from other tables.

✑ When there are no obvious keys to join.
