Lars Hofhansl commented on PHOENIX-1609: ---------------------------------------- I'd say that DEFERRED implies that Phoenix will eventually - but automatically - do it. ASYNC means there's another process outside of Phoenix that it triggered manually (from the viewpoint of Phoenix). Maybe this is splitting hair... Either words imply that it won't happen immediately. > MR job to populate index tables > -------------------------------- > > Key: PHOENIX-1609 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOENIX-1609 > Project: Phoenix > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: maghamravikiran > Assignee: maghamravikiran > Attachments: 0001-PHOENIX_1609.patch > > > Often, we need to create new indexes on master tables way after the data > exists on the master tables. It would be good to have a simple MR job given > by the phoenix code that users can call to have indexes in sync with the > master table. > Users can invoke the MR job using the following command > hadoop jar org.apache.phoenix.mapreduce.Index -st MASTER_TABLE -tt > INDEX_TABLE -columns a,b,c > Is this ideal? -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
