In the current design, brokers query both data nodes and tasks to fetch the schema of the segments they serve. The table schema is then constructed by combining the schemas of all segments within a datasource. However, this approach leads to a high number of segment metadata queries during broker startup, resulting in slow startup times and various issues outlined in the design proposal.
To address these challenges, we propose centralizing the table schema management process within the coordinator. This change is the first step in that direction. In the new arrangement, the coordinator will take on the responsibility of querying both data nodes and tasks to fetch segment schema and subsequently building the table schema. Brokers will now simply query the Coordinator to fetch table schema. Importantly, brokers will still retain the capability to build table schemas if the need arises, ensuring both flexibility and resilience.
Follow up changes to #12599
Changes:
- Rename column `used_flag_last_updated` to `used_status_last_updated`
- Remove new CLI tool `UpdateTables`.
- We already have a `CreateTables` with similar functionality, which should be able to
handle update cases too.
- Any user running the cluster for the first time should either just have `connector.createTables`
enabled or run `CreateTables` which should create tables at the latest version.
- For instance, the `UpdateTables` tool would be inadequate when a new metadata table has
been added to Druid, and users would have to run `CreateTables` anyway.
- Remove `upgrade-prep.md` and include that info in `metadata-init.md`.
- Fix log messages to adhere to Druid style
- Use lambdas

* fix issue introduced by merge
* fixup after merge with master
* add some directions to docs in the case of segment table validation issues
The current default value of inputSegmentSizeBytes is 400MB, which is pretty
low for most compaction use cases. Thus most users are forced to override the
default.
The default value is now increased to Long.MAX_VALUE.
