what is sdk SizedColumnTypes::addIntPartitionColumn method for

Hello

I'm looking for a way to tell vertica that columns coming from my udtf are sorted and partitioned in a specific manner so there is no need to resegment and reorder result dataset. I see there are planty of methods like addIntPartitionColumn and addIntOrderColumn in a SizedColumnTypes class. But setting them in a TransformFunctionFactory::getReturnType makes no difference. What are they for? And is there any way to tell vertica output sortedness for udtf result?

I'm kinda stuck with it. Any advice appreciated

    Sort and partition types are used for intermediate steps in multi-phase UDTF and this information is not passed back to the Vertica server yet. However, we have several requests for sort and partition of UDX output so I would recommend contacting support or your account representative if you have one to let us know you need this functionality.
