Segmentation
Defines how physical data storage (projections) is stored in a database cluster using the CREATE PROJECTION statement. The goal is to distribute data evenly across multiple nodes in the database so that all nodes can participate in query execution.
Note: Partitioning and segmentation are terms often used interchangeably for other databases, but they have completely separate goals in regarding data localization. See Comparing Partitioning and Segmentation in the for details.
