| carbon.enableMinMax | true | CarbonData maintains the metadata which enables to prune unnecessary files from being scanned as per the query conditions.To achieve pruning, Min,Max of each column is maintined.Based on the filter condition in the query, certain data can be skipped from scanning by matching the filter value against the min,max values of the column(s) present in that carbondata file.This pruing enhances query performance significantly. |

**Fallback behavior:**
* 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.
+
+ * In case of complex columns, fallback is triggered when the summation value of all child columns' distinct records exceeds the defined LOCAL_DICTIONARY_THRESHOLD value.
**NOTE:** 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.
**Points to be noted:**
- 1. Reduce Block size:
+ * Reduce Block size:
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.
- 2. 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.
