What does a table with a clustering depth of 1 mean in Snowflake?

In Snowflake, a table's clustering depth indicates the degree of micro-partition overlap based on the clustering keys defined for the table. A clustering depth of 1 implies that the table has no overlapping micro-partitions. This is an optimal scenario, indicating that the table's data is well-clustered according to the specified clustering keys. Well-clustered data can lead to more efficient query performance, as it reduces the amount of data scanned during query execution and improves the effectiveness of data pruning.
