             Summary: Add support for specifying all possible column options in AlterTableOptions.addColumn() 
                 Key: KUDU-1746
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KUDU-1746
             Project: Kudu
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Dimitris Tsirogiannis


Currently, AlterTableOptions.addColumn() call allows only name, type and default value to be specified when a new column is added to an existing table. Hence, four API calls are needed in order to fully specify a column that includes column encoding, compression and desired block size. From a usability point of view it would be better if all possible options could be specified using a single call. Impala will make use of a such an API call so that users can specify new columns using a single ALTER TABLE statement.
