    - Hash clusters group table data by applying a hash function to each row's cluster key value.

    - All rows with the same cluster key value are stored together on disk.

    - Consider the benefits and drawbacks of hash clusters with respect to the needs of the application.

    - You might want to experiment and compare processing times with a particular table as it is stored in a hash cluster, and as it is stored alone with an index.

    - Use sorted hash clusters, where rows corresponding to each value of the hash function are sorted on a specific columns in ascending order, when response time can be improved on operations with this sorted clustered data.
