Distributed hypertables

Distributed hypertables are hypertables that span multiple nodes. With distributed hypertables, you can scale your data storage across multiple machines and benefit from parallelized processing for some queries.

Many features of distributed hypertables work the same way as regular hypertables. To learn how hypertables work in general, see the hypertables section.
