v.20.8Improvement
Allow ALTER ... ON CLUSTER Queries Regardless of Internal Replication Setting
Now it's allowed to executeALTER ... ON CLUSTERqueries regardless of the<internal_replication>setting in cluster config. #16075 (alesapin).
Why it matters
Previously,ALTER ... ON CLUSTER queries were restricted based on the <internal_replication> setting in the cluster config, limiting their usability in some cluster setups. This feature removes that restriction, enabling broader and more flexible cluster schema modifications, improving cluster management and operational capabilities.How to use it
Users can now runALTER ... ON CLUSTER queries on their clusters without needing to adjust or rely on the <internal_replication> setting in the cluster configuration. Simply use the ALTER ... ON CLUSTER syntax as usual to apply schema changes across the cluster.
