-------------------------------------------
Summary: Loading of non-empty datasets should be supported
Key: ASTERIXDB-1400
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ASTERIXDB-1400
Project: Apache AsterixDB
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: AsterixDB, Other, Storage, Translator - AQL
Reporter: Michael J. Carey
Assignee: Ian Maxon
>From a user model perspective, we should have a "load more" capability so that
>users can add data into an existing dataset using load-like DDL. Under the
>hood this can essentially be an insert-into-from-external-files feature, i.e.,
>it doesn't have to be optimized yet, beyond being executed as a single Hyracks
>job that does a series of inserts (into the dataset and its associated
>indexes) - as from a user's perspective today it is REALLY a pain to not be
>able to add more data after an initial load! As a result we see folks having
>to do work around like loading into some other dataset and then doing an
>insert-into, or abusing feeds, or.... Let's fix this! It can't be
>super-hard, as it would essentially operate like a short-lived datafeed under
>the hood.
