I still feel the key thing here is reimplementing HoodieBloomIndex without needing spark caching. https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=103093742#Design&Architecture-BloomIndex(non-global) documents the spark DAG in detail.
If everyone feels, it's best for me to scope the work out, then happy to do it!
