> 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.
