Explanation
Automatic Clustering is the Snowflake feature that organizes data within micro-partitions according to a user-defined cluster key. When enabled on a table, Snowflake continuously monitors and reorganizes the micro-partitions so that rows with similar cluster key values are co-located, enabling efficient partition pruning during queries. Search Optimization Service improves point-lookup queries but does not reorganize micro-partitions. Range and Horizontal Partitioning are concepts from other database systems and are not native Snowflake features.
