Patch Set 1: Code-Review+2

(1 comment)

I'm OK with making this change now, but there are a bunch of open questions we 
should still address for 2.10. Fine to do that in IMPALA-5799.

http://gerrit.cloudera.org:8080/#/c/7667/1/be/src/exec/kudu-table-sink.cc
File be/src/exec/kudu-table-sink.cc:

PS1, Line 241:       // This can only fail if we set a col to an incorrect 
type, which would be a bug in
             :       // planning, so we can DCHECK.

Hm I don't see how the writes fail at Apply() given the writes happen 
asynchronously. I'd think that we would see errors in CheckForErrors().

While Kudu doesn't allow col type changes, isn't that accomplished by: a col 
drop + col add w/ the same name but a different type?
wrt the comment about adding cols: even w/o non-nullable columns, it seems 
unsafe to drop a string col and add another col with the same name but a 
different type. Seems like there's a potential for some code to dereference an 
invalid pointer.

I'm OK with continuing this line of thinking in IMPALA-5799, but we should make 
sure to address it for 2.10.
