That's a good point, Candida. I was also considering option B, but I'm a little concerned about the potential for data skew if some locations or device versions are much more heavily used than others.

Hmm, let me think this through. I'm leaning towards option B because partitioning by create_date and clustering by location_id and device_version seems like it could give us the best of both worlds in terms of querying efficiency.

Haha, this is starting to sound like a real-life engineering meeting. I'm glad we're all putting in the effort to think this through carefully.

Ah, good catch, Michael. That's a really important consideration. Maybe option D could be a better choice, with clustering by create_date and partitioning by location and device_version?
