Alvin Henrick commented on TAJO-744:
------------------------------------
Hi Hyunsik, I agree with you let's make a table for each partition type like
hash_partition and range_partition. I can design the new schema but I think it
would be better if you guys can provide the new one and I will make the changes
to the code accordingly.
I am saying this because you guys have been involved from beginning and you
guys see the bigger picture.Let me know if this is a good thought otherwise I
will design the schema and send it to you guys for review and then start coding.
What are the existing partition types we support today ?
Thanks!
Warm Regards,
Alvin.

> Key: TAJO-744
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAJO-744
> Project: Tajo
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: catalog
> Affects Versions: 0.9
> Reporter: Hyunsik Choi
> Assignee: Alvin Henrick
> Fix For: 0.9
>
>
> Currently, Tajo does not manage partitioned directly. In Tajo, each partition
> is just a directory. For each query, a logical planner traverses matched
> directories in HDFS according to partition predicates.
> This approach is not efficient especially in the environment where the number
> of partitions are very large. It also makes partition management hard.
> Tajo should manage partitions directly by using ALTER TABLE ADD/DROP
> PARTITION statements. A number of partition entries should be stored in the
> underlying database that catalog uses.
> {code:title=Synopsis of ALTER TABLE ADD/DROP PARTITION}
> ALTER TABLE table_name [IF NOT EXISTS] ADD COLUMN PARTITION (key1 = 'val2',
> key2 = 'val2', ...) WITH ('prop_key' = 'prop_val', ...) LOCATION '...';
> ALTER TABLE table_name [IF EXISTS] DROP COLUMN PARTITION (key1
> [=|<|<=|>|>=|!=] 'val1');
> {code}
