索引簇和哈希簇

Evenly distributed key values :键值均衡的分布，适合哈希簇
当表中存在大量键值的时候，你就会开始发现由于存在许多簇块而导致的性能问题。避免这个问题的一个方法就是使用一个哈希函数来约束簇块的数量。哈希函数将会给定一个数值用来限定簇块数量的预计范围，但它得到的值是相对等分布的。
Rarely updated key：簇键不经常被修改，适合索引簇和哈希簇

Often joined master-detail tables：表经常被用作连接条件，并且是主要的数据源提供者，适合索引簇表，可以是一张表是普通的表，另一张表是簇表，进行连接查询，并且大量的数据来源于簇表。

Predictable number of key values:能够预先知道键值的数量，适合使用HASH簇，关键字hashkeys表示键值数量,size表示每个键值分配指定的空间。比如可以确定存放具有给定聚簇键值的所有记录所需的空间(包括现在的和将来的)，则将此表以哈希聚簇存储。不要用哈希聚簇存储经常增长的表。

Queries using equality predicate on key：在查询时使用相等条件的（不单指等连接），比较适合哈希簇表

总结：从上面的例子可以看出，当创建了哈希簇表，那么oracle就会立刻给分配跟键值范围成比例的空间，所以比较适合可预知有多少数量的键值的表。
而索引簇没有立刻分配空间，它是随着键值的不同而且开始分配。
簇表可以理解为两张有相关联的表的数据进行集中存放，或是一张表的数据根据某个列的值进行聚簇存放，类似于把数据进行排序后存放。目的是可以减少io操作。
