             Summary: [SQL] Mandatory PK
                 Key: IGNITE-16859
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IGNITE-16859
             Project: Ignite
          Issue Type: Epic
          Components: sql
            Reporter: Konstantin Orlov


Apache Ignite is trying to unite the two worlds SQL and KV together, making the 
user experience of both worlds as natural as possible. Because of this, the key 
is considered mandatory.

Nevertheless, the SQL standard allows tables without PK specified, and some 
customers potentially could have such tables in ther production. Besides, there 
are external tests (like TCP-H for instance), which don't bothering himself by 
defining PK which they won't be using anyway.

To make it easier to migrate from tables without a key, let's provide a 
workaround where we could define a PK whose value will be automatically 
generated by some function.

To make it easier to adopt external tests, we need to provide ability to inject 
the key without changing the source scripts.
