@raunaqmorarka .. how does this work with existing stuff. I assume the files are unmodified as usual so it only applies to new data .. so reading is NOT accelerated for old data .. only for newly written files that are subsequently read .. and as such.. do we need to reword @martint .. also note I added the info about SNAPPY being the old default.

[mosabua]

I think we probaly want to just remove the mention of predicate pushdown and mention addition of the column properties and what they add. Sounds ok @raunaqmorarka and @nineinchnick ?

[nineinchnick]

It's breaking change, so we should definitely say that predicate pushdown are not supported anymore.

[mosabua]

Thanks for adding the docs entry for the SQL support section. Question though .. do we need to add more specific info like .. where are those views stored? Do they survive a cluster restart?

[mosabua]

And are create, drop, and alter supported?

[nineinchnick]

The implementation is copied from the memory connector. The views are stored in memory, same as the tables are, and we only mention this for tables. There are tests that prove we support CREATE VIEW, DROP VIEW and ALTER VIEW statements.
