-------------------------------------
Summary: Store column counters at global view level
Key: PHOENIX-3575
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOENIX-3575
Project: Phoenix
Issue Type: Task
Reporter: Samarth Jain
Today we store the column qualifier counters at the base table level. Views
created on the table use this common pool of counters. When views are altered
i.e. when columns are added to them, it is likely that the qualifiers allocated
to views are not contiguous. This makes the data for views sparse which
prevents us from taking advantage of encoding strategies. See discussion on
PHOENIX-2565. There could be use cases where the user defines a global view and
then child views are defined on that global view. By storing the counter at
global view level, child views will be allocated a relatively contiguous set of
column qualifiers (especially if they are not modified after the initial CREATE
VIEW call).
