FactOrder is hash distributed on CustomerId. OrderId is the unique identifier for FactOrder. FactOrder contains 3 million rows. Orders are distributed evenly among different customers from a table named dimCustomers that contains 2 million rows. You often run queries that join FactOrder and dimCustomers by selecting and grouping by the OrderDateKey column. You add 7 million rows to FactOrder.
