---------------------------------
Summary: Range-partition naming
Key: KUDU-1687
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KUDU-1687
Project: Kudu
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.0.0
Reporter: Dan Burkert
It would be nice if individual range partitions could be named during creation,
so that they can be dropped by name later. For example, it would allow a SQL
layer to do the following:
{code}
CREATE TABLE t (
c INT32 PRIMARY KEY,
)
PARTITION BY
RANGE (c) (
PARTITION first 100 <= VALUES < 200,
PARTITION second 300 <= VALUES < 400,
);
ALTER TABLE t DROP RANGE PARTITION first;
-- would be equivalent to:
ALTER TABLE t DROP RANGE PARTITION 100 <= VALUES < 200;
{code}
Right now there is no state associated with range partitions in the master, so
this may have to be approximated by adding per-tablet metadata, and then adding
an associated range partition name to that.
