David Cai resolved CARBONDATA-3347.
-----------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
> support SORT_COLUMNS modification
> ---------------------------------
>
> Key: CARBONDATA-3347
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CARBONDATA-3347
> Project: CarbonData
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: spark-integration
> Reporter: David Cai
> Assignee: David Cai
> Priority: Major
> Attachments: sort_columns modification.pdf, sort_columns
> modification_v2.pdf
>
>
> *Background*
> Now SORT_COLUMNS can’t be modified after the table is created. If we want to
> modify SORT_COLUMNS on this table, we need to create a new table and migrate
> data. If the data is huge, the migration will take a long time and even
> impact the user business.
> SORT_SCOPE in table properties can be modified now. And we can specify new
> SORT_SCOPE during data loading. Carbon index file will mark whether this
> segment is sorted or not. So the different segments maybe have different
> SORT_SCOPE.
> *Mo**tivation*
> After the table is created, the user can adjust SORT_SCOPE/SORT_COLUMNS
> according to their business. History segments will still use old
> SORT_SCOPE/SORT_COLUMNS, but the user also can resort old segments one by one
> if need.
> But we still suggest the user give a proper SORT_SCOPE/SORT_COLUMNS when they
> create the table because the modification will take many resources to resort
> data of old segments.
>
> please check design doc for more detail.
