--------------------------------------
Summary: Spark DDL needs elegant way to specify range partitioning
Key: KUDU-1676
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KUDU-1676
Project: Kudu
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: spark
Affects Versions: 1.0.0
Reporter: Mladen Kovacevic
To define partition column splits, you need a PartialRow object.
These are easy to create when you have the Schema object. But since your table
schema in Spark is defined with StructType instead of Schema, then its
cumbersome to define a new Schema object to be the exact duplicate of the
StructType version, only to get the PartialRow, to set what the range partition
will values would be, then set the addSplitRow() function call to your
CreateTableOptions.
We need an elegant way to have the Spark API handle specifying range partition
attributes without having to drop into the Java API in Spark.
