Gokcen Iskender commented on PHOENIX-4703:
------------------------------------------
I will be implementing this Jira in multiple stages. Also, only Global indexes
are relevant for this jira.
For local indexes I opened PHOENIX-5263 because it is trickier to clean out the
local indexes (they share same table as data, same column family with other
local indexes).
The first stage is the change of index tool to truncate Global index table.
The second stage is the addition of a sql stmt support.
> Provide an option to fully rebuild indexes asynchronously through SQL

> Key: PHOENIX-4703
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOENIX-4703
> Project: Phoenix
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Vincent Poon
> Assignee: Gokcen Iskender
> Priority: Major
>
> Currently if we run "ALTER INDEX ... REBUILD" , all the rows in the index are
> deleted and the index is rebuilt synchronously.
> "ALTER INEX ... REBUILD ASYNC" seems to be used for the IndexTool's partial
> rebuild option, rebuilding from ASYNC_REBUILD_TIMESTAMP (PHOENIX-2890)
> So it seems currently the only way to fully rebuild is the drop the index,
> and recreate it. This is burdensome as it requires have the schema DDL.
> We should have an option to fully rebuild asynchronously, that has the same
> semantics as dropping and recreating the index. A further advantage of this
> is we can maintain the splits of the index table while dropping its data. We
> are currently seeing issues where rebuilding a large table via a MR job
> results in hotspotting due to all data regions writing to the same index
> region at the start.
