Tim Armstrong updated IMPALA-10265:
-----------------------------------
Component/s: Docs
> Doc about enable_incremental_metadata_updates flag
> --------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: IMPALA-10265
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-10265
> Project: IMPALA
> Issue Type: Documentation
> Components: Docs
> Reporter: Quanlong Huang
> Priority: Critical
>
> IMPALA-10113 adds a feature flag to turn off the incremental metadata update
> feature which defaults to be turned on. This flag decides how catalogd
> propagates metadata updates to the catalog topic.
> If enable_incremental_metadata_updates is true, catalogd will send metadata
> updates in partition granularity. So a table that just has one partition
> changed will only have an update on that partition. This reduces the size of
> the metadata that needs to be sent from the catalogd.
> If enable_incremental_metadata_updates is false, that's the legacy behavior.
> Catalogd will send metadata updates in table granularity. So a table that
> just has one partition changed will still have an update for the whole table
> object. Catalogd still sends the whole table thrift object to the catalog
> topic.
> Note that this is a catalogd-only flag. Don't need to be set on impalads
> since impalad can process both incremental and non-incremental catalog
> updates.
