[jira] [Commented] (PHOENIX-4360) Prevent System.Catalog from splitting

["Lars Hofhansl (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOENIX-4360?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16252644#comment-16252644 ] 

Lars Hofhansl commented on PHOENIX-4360:
----------------------------------------

Upping to release blocker. DROP CASCADE or most DDL on views/tables can more or less just fail randomly.
Either we get PHOENIX-3534 in or we have to stop SYSTEM.CATALOG from splitting (much HBase:meta)

> Just talked to [~jamestaylor].
> It turns out that currently System.Catalog is not prevented from splitting generally, but does not allow splitting within a schema.
> In the multi-tenant case that is not good enough. When System.Catalog splits and a base table and view end up in different regions the following can happen:
> * DROP CASCADE no longer works for those views
> * Adding/removing columns to/from the base table no longer works
> Until PHOENIX-3534 is done we should simply prevent System.Catalog from splitting. (just like HBase:meta)
