Purpose
Linked issue: #158
Add a high-performance real-time deduplication mode for append tables.
The mode keeps append writes efficient while using deletion vectors to hide replaced or deleted rows in real time. Data files remain ordinary append-table files, so all predicates and file indexes can still be used for pruning and pushdown across data files, sealed segments, and building data.
Rows are deduplicated with last-write-wins semantics using a user-defined key, providing efficient real-time updates without introducing merge-tree read overhead.
This change adds:
realtime.deduplicate-key-fields;Current limitations: one non-null key field, fixed buckets, no data evolution or real-time spill, and
_REALTIME_OFFSETrequires a bitmap file index.Tests
Added unit and integration coverage for:
API and Format
API impact: adds the deduplicate option and real-time store mode (
realtime.deduplicate-key-fields).Format impact: deduplicate tables persist
_REALTIME_OFFSET, key-to-offset sidecars, and deletion vectors. Existing table modes are unchanged.Documentation
