This policy is recommended for most users. Select it if any of the following conditions apply:\n- This is your first Redis Cloud account, and you are starting fresh.\n- You are migrating data from Redis Community Edition or other Redis-managed platforms.\n- Your application does not use hashtags in database key names.\n- Your application uses binary data as key names.\n\nSee [Clustering](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rc/databases/configuration/clustering#manage-the-hashing-policy) for more information."

Only select a custom hashing policy if you are already using a custom hashing policy with your existing Redis Cloud databases."
