What is the difference between partitioning with key / hash and round robin?..

Answer / Nitin Aliwal

Partitioning with Key/Hash in Ab Initio distributes data based on a specific key or hash function, ensuring that related data ends up on the same partition. Round Robin, on the other hand, distributes data evenly among partitions in a cyclic manner, without regard for relatedness of data.
