--------------------------------
Summary: Make Hudi timeline backward compatible
Key: HUDI-7671
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HUDI-7671
Project: Apache Hudi
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: core
Reporter: Danny Chen
Assignee: Danny Chen
Fix For: 1.0.0
Since release 1.x, the timeline metadata file name is changed to include the
completion time, we need to keep compatibility for 0.x branches/releases.
0.x meta file name pattern: ${instant_time}.action[.state]
1.x meta file name pattern: ${instant_time}_${completion_time}.action[.state].
In 1.x release, while decipher the Hudi instant from the metadata files, if
there is no completion time, uses the file modification time as the completion
time instead.
The modification time follows the OCC concurrency control semantics if the
files were not moved around.
Caution that if the table is a MOR table and the files got moved in history
from old folder to the current folder, the reader view may represent wong
result set because the completion time are completely the same for all the
alive instants.
