v.21.1Improvements
Support HDFS storage default expression and optimize column-oriented fetching
Support default expression for HDFS storage and optimize fetching when source is column oriented. #32256 (李扬).Why it matters
This feature allows users to define default expressions for columns stored inHDFS, enabling more flexible data manipulations and transformations. Additionally, it improves performance by optimizing data retrieval specifically for column-oriented data sources stored in HDFS.How to use it
Users can define default expressions in the table schema when working withHDFS storage. The system will automatically apply these expressions on data fetch. For column-oriented sources, the fetching process is optimized internally, so no additional user intervention is required beyond enabling HDFS storage with the appropriate table definition.
