-Manual refresh currently only works fine for MV, it has some bugs with other types of datamap in Carbondata 1.4.1, so we block this option for them in this version.
If user create MV datamap without specifying <code>WITH DEFERRED REBUILD</code>, carbondata will give a warning and treat the datamap as deferred rebuild.</p>

<p>This feature applies for preaggregate datamap only</p>
<p>Running Compaction command (<code>ALTER TABLE COMPACT</code>) on main table will <strong>not automatically</strong> compact the pre-aggregate tables created on the main table. User need to run Compaction command separately on each pre-aggregate table to compact them.</p>
<p>Compaction is an optional operation for pre-aggregate table. If compaction is performed on main table but not performed on pre-aggregate table, all queries still can benefit from pre-aggregate tables. To further improve the query performance, compaction on pre-aggregate tables can be triggered to merge the segments and files in the pre-aggregate tables.</p>

+</li>
+</ul>
+<p>Columns for which dictionary is not generated needs more storage space and in turn more IO. Also since more data will have to be read during query, query performance also would suffer.Generating dictionary per blocklet for such columns would help in saving storage space and assist in improving query performance as carbondata is optimized for handling dictionary encoded columns more effectively.Generating dictionary internally per blocklet is termed as local dictionary. Please refer to <a href="./file-structure-of-carbondata.html">File structure of Carbondata</a> for understanding about the file structure of carbondata and meaning of terms like blocklet.</p>
+<p>Local Dictionary helps in:</p>
+<ol>
+<li>Getting more compression.</li>
+<li>Filter queries and full scan queries will be faster as filter will be done on encoded data.</li>
+<li>Reducing the store size and memory footprint as only unique values will be stored as part of local dictionary and corresponding data will be stored as encoded data.</li>
+<li>Getting higher IO throughput.</li>
+</ol>
+<p><strong>NOTE:</strong></p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>Following Data Types are Supported for Local Dictionary:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>STRING</li>
+<li>VARCHAR</li>
+<li>CHAR</li>
+</ul>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Following Data Types are not Supported for Local Dictionary:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>SMALLINT</li>
+<li>INTEGER</li>
+<li>BIGINT</li>
+<li>DOUBLE</li>
+<li>DECIMAL</li>
+<li>TIMESTAMP</li>
+<li>DATE</li>
+<li>BOOLEAN</li>
+</ul>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>In case of multi-level complex dataType columns, primitive string/varchar/char columns are considered for local dictionary generation.</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<p>Local dictionary will have to be enabled explicitly during create table or by enabling the <strong>system property</strong> <em><strong>carbon.local.dictionary.enable</strong></em>. By default, Local Dictionary will be disabled for the carbondata table.</p>
+<p>Local Dictionary can be configured using the following properties during create table command:</p>
+<table>
+<thead>
+<tr>
+<th>Properties</th>
+<th>Default value</th>
+<th>Description</th>
+</tr>
+</thead>
+<tbody>
+<tr>
+<td>LOCAL_DICTIONARY_ENABLE</td>
+<td>false</td>
+<td>Whether to enable local dictionary generation. <strong>NOTE:</strong> If this property is defined, it will override the value configured at system level by 'carbon.local.dictionary.enable'</td>
+</tr>
+<tr>
+<td>LOCAL_DICTIONARY_THRESHOLD</td>
+<td>10000</td>
+<td>The maximum cardinality of a column upto which carbondata can try to generate local dictionary (maximum - 100000)</td>
+</tr>
+<tr>
+<td>LOCAL_DICTIONARY_INCLUDE</td>
+<td>string/varchar/char columns</td>
+<td>Columns for which Local Dictionary has to be generated.<strong>NOTE:</strong> Those string/varchar/char columns which are added into DICTIONARY_INCLUDE option will not be considered for local dictionary generation.</td>
+</tr>
+<tr>
+<td>LOCAL_DICTIONARY_EXCLUDE</td>
+<td>none</td>
+<td>Columns for which Local Dictionary need not be generated.</td>
+</tr>
+</tbody>
+</table>
+<p><strong>Fallback behavior:</strong></p>
+<ul>
+<li>When the cardinality of a column exceeds the threshold, it triggers a fallback and the generated dictionary will be reverted and data loading will be continued without dictionary encoding.</li>
+</ul>
+<p><strong>NOTE:</strong> When fallback is triggered, the data loading performance will decrease as encoded data will be discarded and the actual data is written to the temporary sort files.</p>
+<p><strong>Points to be noted:</strong></p>
+<ol>
+<li>
+<p>Reduce Block size:</p>
+<p>Number of Blocks generated is less in case of Local Dictionary as compression ratio is high. This may reduce the number of tasks launched during query, resulting in degradation of query performance if the pruned blocks are less compared to the number of parallel tasks which can be run. So it is recommended to configure smaller block size which in turn generates more number of blocks.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>All the page-level data for a blocklet needs to be maintained in memory until all the pages encoded for local dictionary is processed in order to handle fallback. Hence the memory required for local dictionary based table is more and this memory increase is proportional to number of columns.</p>
+</li>
+</ol>

+<p><strong>NOTE:</strong></p>
+<ul>
+<li>We recommend to use Local Dictionary when cardinality is high but is distributed across multiple loads</li>
+<li>On a large cluster, decoding data can become a bottleneck for global dictionary as there will be many remote reads. In this scenario, it is better to use Local Dictionary.</li>
+<li>When cardinality is less, but loads are repetitive, it is better to use global dictionary as local dictionary generates multiple dictionary files at blocklet level increasing redundancy.</li>

+<p>By default, CarbonData caches min and max values of all the columns in schema. As the load increases, the memory required to hold the min and max values increases considerably. This feature enables you to configure min and max values only for the required columns, resulting in optimized memory usage.</p>
+<p>Following are the valid values for COLUMN_META_CACHE:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>If you want no column min/max values to be cached in the driver.</li>
+</ul>
+<pre><code>COLUMN_META_CACHE=??
+</code></pre>
+<ul>
+<li>If you want only col1 min/max values to be cached in the driver.</li>
+</ul>
+<pre><code>COLUMN_META_CACHE=?col1?
+</code></pre>
+<ul>
+<li>If you want min/max values to be cached in driver for all the specified columns.</li>
+</ul>
+<pre><code>COLUMN_META_CACHE=?col1,col2,col3,??
+</code></pre>
+<p>Columns to be cached can be specified either while creating table or after creation of the table.
+During create table operation; specify the columns to be cached in table properties.</p>
+<p>Syntax:</p>
+<pre><code>CREATE TABLE [dbName].tableName (col1 String, col2 String, col3 int,?) STORED BY ?carbondata? TBLPROPERTIES (?COLUMN_META_CACHE?=?col1,col2,??)

+<p>In common scenarios, the length of string is less than 32000,
+so carbondata stores the length of content using Short to reduce memory and space consumption.
+To support string longer than 32000 characters, carbondata introduces a table property called <code>LONG_STRING_COLUMNS</code>.
+For these columns, carbondata internally stores the length of content using Integer.</p>
+<p>You can specify the columns as 'long string column' using below tblProperties:</p>
+<pre><code>// specify col1, col2 as long string columns
+TBLPROPERTIES ('LONG_STRING_COLUMNS'='col1,col2')
+</code></pre>
+<p>Besides, you can also use this property through DataFrame by</p>
+<pre><code>df.format("carbondata")
+ .option("tableName", "carbonTable")
+ .option("long_string_columns", "col1, col2")
+ .save()
+</code></pre>
+<p>If you are using Carbon-SDK, you can specify the datatype of long string column as <code>varchar</code>.
+You can refer to SDKwriterTestCase for example.</p>
+<p><strong>NOTE:</strong> The LONG_STRING_COLUMNS can only be string/char/varchar columns and cannot be dictionary_include/sort_columns/complex columns.</p>

+<li>Dropping of the external table should not delete the files present in the location.</li>
+<li>When external table is created on non-transactional table data,

+Change of decimal data type from lower precision to higher precision will only be supported for cases where there is no data loss.</p>
+<pre><code>ALTER TABLE [db_name.]table_name CHANGE col_name col_name changed_column_type
+</code></pre>
+<p>Valid Scenarios</p>
+<ul>
+<li>Invalid scenario - Change of decimal precision from (10,2) to (10,5) is invalid as in this case only scale is increased but total number of digits remains the same.</li>
+<li>Valid scenario - Change of decimal precision from (10,2) to (12,3) is valid as the total number of digits are increased by 2 but scale is increased only by 1 which will not lead to any data loss.</li>
+<li>
+<strong>NOTE:</strong> The allowed range is 38,38 (precision, scale) and is a valid upper case scenario which is not resulting in data loss.</li>
+</ul>
+<p>Example1:Changing data type of column a1 from INT to BIGINT.</p>
