Josh Elser commented on PHOENIX-1614:
-------------------------------------
Thanks for the review, Geoffrey!
bq. Other than that, this looks good. It appears that because the new protobuf
field is optional this will be backward compatible – older clients will not get
the benefits of the bug fix, but will still work. If this isn't the case
because I'm missing something, please let me know, because we should be sure of
that before committing.
Yup! This is the part that I was more focused on.
[~brfrn169], if you can address Geoffrey's comment in AppendOnlySchemaIT, I'll
be happy to commit this for you.

> Key: PHOENIX-1614
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOENIX-1614
> Project: Phoenix
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Gabriel Reid
> Assignee: Toshihiro Suzuki
> Priority: Major
> Labels: argus

> On an existing table table, executing "ALTER TABLE ADD IF NOT EXISTS
> thisColAlreadyExists varchar, thisColDoesNotExist varchar", then
> nothing will be changed in the table because thisColAlreadyExists
> already exists.
> Omitting the already-existing column from the statement, all new columns
> do get created.
> The general expectation would be that when you use ADD IF NOT EXISTS, all
> non-existent columns will be added, and all existing columns in the
> statement will just be ignored. There is already an integration test
> (AlterTableIT#testAddVarCols) that actually demonstrates the current
> behavior, although this is probably not correct.
> As pointed out in the related mailing list thread [1], ALTER TABLE DROP
> COLUMN likely suffers from the same issue.
