1$\begingroup$ Too vague. Do you mean clustering like how a table is organized physically, or clustering in the machine learning sense? $\endgroup$– CalZCommented May 2, 2017 at 15:40

$\begingroup$ Are you sure they did not mean the other sense? This is such a vague and frankly poor question. $\endgroup$– EmreCommented May 2, 2017 at 17:46
