Improve ALTER ... MATERIALIZE TTL by Metadata Recalculation Only
Improve ALTER ... MATERIALIZE TTL by recalculating metadata only without actual TTL action. #27019 (lthaooo).Why it matters
This feature addresses the need to update TTL metadata (such as recalculating TTL expressions) without triggering the execution of TTL data modifications. It helps users maintain accurate TTL metadata while avoiding immediate changes to the stored data, providing better control and efficiency.How to use it
Use theALTER TABLE ... MATERIALIZE TTL command as usual. With this improvement, the command now recalculates TTL metadata only, skipping actual TTL actions, ensuring metadata consistency without affecting data immediately.
