can you explain dist key vs sort key
In Amazon Redshift, a distributed database service for data warehousing, a table can be distributed across multiple nodes to enable parallel processing and improve performance. When creating a table, you can specify a distribution style and a sort key to optimize the way data is stored and queried.

Distribution Style:
There are three distribution styles available in Amazon Redshift:

1. EVEN distribution: This style evenly distributes the rows of a table across all the nodes. It is useful when queries access all parts of the table more or less equally. However, it may not be efficient when queries access only a specific subset of data.
2. KEY distribution: This style distributes the rows based on the values in one column, called the distribution key. It is useful when queries frequently access data based on the values in the distribution key. By colocating the data with the same distribution key value on the same node, Redshift can minimize the amount of data that needs to be transferred between nodes during query execution.
3. ALL distribution: This style creates a copy of the entire table on each node. It is useful when queries frequently access the entire table, and the table is small enough to fit on each node. However, it may not be efficient for large tables or when queries only access a subset of data.

Sort Key:
A sort key defines the order in which data is stored on disk. When a query includes a predicate
A Distributed Key (DK) is a key that is distributed across multiple nodes in a cluster. It is used to ensure data consistency and reliability in a distributed system. A Sort Key (SK) is a key used to sort data in a distributed system. It is typically used to ensure that data is sorted in the same order across all nodes in a cluster.
