Dan Burkert updated KUDU-1687:
------------------------------
Issue Type: New Feature (was: Bug)
> Range-partition naming
> ----------------------
>
> Key: KUDU-1687
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KUDU-1687
> Project: Kudu
> Issue Type: New Feature
> 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.
