Answer / pratap gangula
Junk dimension is a cartesan product of dimensions which have very low cardinality. So instead of making separate dimensions for each such low cardinality source, combine all of them into one single dimension. This saves the number of foreign keys on the fact table which reduces the number of indexes on fact tables. Eventually it increases the performance of the cube.

Answer / poorna chandra reddy
A number of very small dimensions might be lumped together
to form a single dimension, a junk dimension - the
attributes are not closely related. Grouping of Random
flags and text Attributes in a dimension and moving them to
a separate sub dimension is known as junk dimension.
