📄️ Hypertables
Hypertables are the core feature of TimescaleDB, automatically partitioning your data by time and other dimensions into smaller, more manageable child tables called "chunks." This architecture is the key to achieving fast ingest rates and query performance on large time-series datasets.
📄️ Reorder Policies
A reorder policy reorganizes data in a hypertable's chunks to match the order of a specific index. This process can significantly improve query performance, especially for queries that read data in the index's order, as it reduces the number of disk pages that need to be read.
