---------------------------------
Summary: Explicitly declare views as read-only or updatable
Key: PHOENIX-22
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOENIX-22
Project: Phoenix
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 3.0.0
Reporter: Eli Levine
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 3.0.0
Documentation on Views:
https://github.com/forcedotcom/phoenix/wiki/Views#wiki-read-only-views
Views can be updatable or read-only. Currently the deciding factor between the
two is the complexity of the WHERE clause used for view creation. Instead,
users should be able to explicitly declare whether or not a view is updatable
at creation time for the following reasons:
1. Users might want to explicitly control view readability, including views
that use simple WHERE clauses.
2. Phoenix will likely expand the notion of what WHERE clauses can be used to
construct updatable views in future releases. A view that is read-only now
because its WHERE clause is "too complicated" might automatically become
updatable automatically in the future. This seems an undesirable change in
behavior from users' perspective.
