[Feedback] partitioning_column - no reference found

[weberth]

Is it easy to find the information you need?

Yes

Are the instructions clear?

No

How could we improve the Timescale documentation site?

Regarding this doc: https://docs.timescale.com/use-timescale/latest/hypertables/hypertables-and-unique-indexes/ Any space-partitioning columns. Space partitions are optional and not included in every hypertable. You have a space-partitioning column if you specified the partitioning_column parameter when you creates your hypertable.

I can't find some useful doc for partitioning_column. Neither in the doc-search nor in the reference https://docs.timescale.com/api/latest/hypertable/create_hypertable/ .

Good point @weberth! That's a left over as partitioning_column probably belongs to the dimension that you can use. It's related to an old syntax.

@mkindahl any recommendation how to follow up the docs in this page considering that we have dimension?
