sivabalan narayanan updated HUDI-2681:
--------------------------------------
Priority: Blocker (was: Major)
> Make hoodie record_key and preCombine_key optional
> --------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HUDI-2681
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HUDI-2681
> Project: Apache Hudi
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Common Core
> Reporter: Vinoth Govindarajan
> Assignee: sivabalan narayanan
> Priority: Blocker
> Labels: 0.10_blocker
>
> At present, Hudi needs an record key and preCombine key to create an Hudi
> datasets, which puts an restriction on the kinds of datasets we can create
> using Hudi.
>
> In order to increase the adoption of Hudi file format across all kinds of
> derived datasets, similar to Parquet/ORC, we need to offer flexibility to
> users. I understand that record key is used for upsert primitive and we need
> preCombine key to break the tie and deduplicate, but there are event data and
> other datasets without any primary key (append only datasets), which can
> benefit from Hudi since Hudi ecosystem offers other features such as snapshot
> isolation, indexes, clustering, delta streamer etc., which could be applied
> to any datasets without record key.
>
> The idea of this proposal is to make both the record key and preCombine key
> optional to allow variety of new use cases on top of Hudi.
