-------------------------------------------
Summary: Add support for specifying all possible column options in
AlterTableOptions.addColumn()
Key: KUDU-1746
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KUDU-1746
Project: Kudu
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Dimitris Tsirogiannis
Currently, AlterTableOptions.addColumn() call allows only name, type and
default value to be specified when a new column is added to an existing table.
Hence, four API calls are needed in order to fully specify a column that
includes column encoding, compression and desired block size. From a usability
point of view it would be better if all possible options could be specified
using a single call. Impala will make use of a such an API call so that users
can specify new columns using a single ALTER TABLE statement.
