Quanlong Huang commented on IMPALA-12573: ----------------------------------------- {quote}But if we invalidate some table manually ,we may want them to load . {quote} I think using REFRESH in this case is better. However, we do need some more fine-grained config if we want some tables be always loaded, e.g. some dimension tables. Maybe we can add two flags like load_dbs_in_background and load_tables_in_background. > Give configuration load_catalog_in_background more fine-grained configuration > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: IMPALA-12573 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-12573 > Project: IMPALA > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Catalog > Reporter: Maxwell Guo > Assignee: Maxwell Guo > Priority: Minor > > As we know if load_catalog_in_background set to true, then the table meta > will load async for catalogd. > During this period when catalogd starts up, if the flag set to true, then all > the table will load async, then the queue will be big .
