perfect, that is how I expect. perhaps the default should be global index? or documentation should be updated? From coming from RDBMS background the PK is unique at table level not at partition level but reading below configs it is not clear that hudi default is different and I'm sure will trip up many newcomers to hudi: "RECORDKEY_FIELD_OPT_KEY (Required): **Primary key** field(s). Nested fields can be specified using the dot notation eg: a.b.c. When using multiple columns as primary key use comma separated notation, eg: "col1,col2,col3,etc". Single or multiple columns as primary key specified by KEYGENERATOR_CLASS_OPT_KEY property. Default value: "uuid" PARTITIONPATH_FIELD_OPT_KEY (Required): Columns to be used for **partitioning** the table. To prevent partitioning, provide empty string as value eg: "". Specify partitioning/no partitioning using KEYGENERATOR_CLASS_OPT_KEY. If synchronizing to hive, also specify using HIVE_PARTITION_EXTRACTOR_CLASS_OPT_KEY. Default value: "partitionpath"" ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
