Hi Sea,
1. create database with location is supported by spark(hive) only, carbon
will not have any own implementation for create database. It is mention here
just for reference regarding the location attribute.
2. Why carbon want to keep tablePath = 'databaseLocation “/” +
database_Name + "/" + tableName`
There is problem if we keep the tablePath same as hive. For
CarbonFileMetaStore, carbon creates
the schema file at <TablePath>/Metadata/schema
If carbon skips adding databaseName, then two table having same name from
two different databases pointing to the same database location will cause
problem during table creation, load and query.
Even in case hive if two tables in different databases with same are
created, then we are showing then when either of the table is queried, the
content from both the tables are shown.
3. What does `Carbon.update.sync.folder` means?
This is to configure the directory for modifiedTime.mdt.
Earlier the directory path for modifiedTime.mdt was fixed to
carbon.storeLocation, but what if user decides to remove the name
service of the carbon.storeLocation.
This is required for the federation cluster, where multiple name services
will be available. So if the nameservice to which the the directory for
modifiedTime.mdt is removed then the directory could be
changed.
Regards,
Shahid
