---------------------------------------------
[~tarmstrong] so can I just add this statement "{color:#de350b}_SYNC_DDL only
applies to traditional non-transactional filesystem-based tables and does not
apply to tables such as Kudu, HBase, etc_{color}"? I will add this statement
following the para you have called out in the description " Although {{INSERT}}
is classified as a DML statement, when the {{SYNC_DDL}} option is ----------"
In the long run SYNC_DDL will not apply to "Transactional tables" so I am
considering NOT to mention "transactional tables". Please share your opinion
here.
> SYNC_DDL docs should clarify that it only affects DML

> Although INSERT is classified as a DML statement, when the SYNC_DDL option is
> enabled, INSERT statements also delay their completion until all the
> underlying data and metadata changes are propagated to all Impala nodes.
> Internally, Impala inserts have similarities with DDL statements in
> traditional database systems, because they create metadata needed to track
> HDFS block locations for new files and they potentially add new partitions to
> partitioned tables.

> I saw someone read this as applying to all tables (Kudu, HBase, etc) but it
> only inherently applies to traditional non-transactional filesystem-based
> tables. It also applies to transactional tables until IMPALA-8631 is fixed,
> after which they will be more strongly consistent.
