No, it is done automatically in a periodic manner. Also, you will need to deploy minions for it. Of course, you can always do this manually by downloading the segments and uploading them to the offline table. APIs are available for it. A small script can change the segment name. This is a hack (as of now, since segment name change is not a supported feature), but if, for example, we have an API to add a segment to a table under a different name (not a bad ask, IMO), your problem can be completely solved with APIs. Again, this is based on the assumption that yours is a one-time operation, and therefore having some manual intervention is not an issue. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
