+The two predicates behave differently, and only one of them is the problem. Running each

+**Time pruning already removes 82 percent of the row groups. Hostname removes none.**
+The zone maps are working. The gap is a `hostname` clustering failure, not a zone-map
+failure.
+
+The catalog says why. Every one of the 667 groups records the same minimum and the same
+maximum for `hostname`. Every group holds all 4,000 hosts, so no group can be ruled out.
+
+For `time` the picture is the opposite. A group spans about 6 minutes on average, which
+is **0.30 percent** of the table's 2 day 21 hour range.

 TimescaleDB answers the same query in 5 milliseconds. It excludes all but one

+
+### What prunes and what does not
+
+An earlier version of this page argued from `pg_stats.correlation`, which reads 0.0133
+for `time` and -0.0036 for `hostname`, and concluded that neither key was ordered. The
+conclusion was wrong for `time`, and the instrument was the reason.
+
+`correlation` measures how a column's values track physical row order **across the whole
+relation**. Zone-map skipping does not depend on that. It depends on whether each
+**group's** minimum and maximum are narrow against the predicate, which is a local
+property.
+
+This table is the case that separates them. Its groups are individually tight on `time`,
+about 6 minutes each. But the sequence of groups is rotated rather than ascending, with
+group 1 beginning at 14:00:10 and group 663 at 13:31:00. A whole-relation correlation is
+therefore near zero. Skipping still removes 549 groups of 667.
+
+**So do not infer pruning from `correlation`.** The instrument that answers the question
+is `Columnar Chunk Groups Removed by Filter` in `EXPLAIN (ANALYZE)`. Run one predicate at
+a time, because a conjunction hides which half is doing the work.
 
 **So this table measures pgColumnar in the layout that suits it least.** A user with
 this shape would cluster the table on `hostname`. That is what
