Can you discuss round-robin and hash partitioning in more detail?

You're being asked another follow-up question. Any time you provide an answer to an interviewer, you can anticipate follow-up questions. This indicates that the interviewer has a particular interest in this topic or needs more information than what you provided in the previous answer. Noting this will help you anticipate future questions and identify which issues are essential to the organization.

For examp: "In round-robin partitioning, the data is evenly distributed among all partitions. Using round-robin partitioning is appropriate when the number of rows in each of the partitions is the same. Hash partitioning applies a hash function to partition keys to group data among the partitions. The results in a group of rows being processed with the same partitioning key in the same partition."
