Issue: #14989
The initial step in optimizing segment metadata was to centralize the construction of datasource schema in the Coordinator (#14985). Thereafter, we addressed the problem of publishing schema for realtime segments (#15475). Subsequently, our goal is to eliminate the requirement for regularly executing queries to obtain segment schema information.
This is the final change which involves publishing segment schema for finalized segments from task and periodically polling them in the Coordinator.
The initial step in optimizing segment metadata was to centralize the construction of datasource schema in the Coordinator (#14985). Subsequently, our goal is to eliminate the requirement for regularly executing queries to obtain segment schema information. This task encompasses addressing both realtime and finalized segments.
This modification specifically addresses the issue with realtime segments. Tasks will now routinely communicate the schema for realtime segments during the segment announcement process. The Coordinator will identify the schema alongside the segment announcement and subsequently update the schema for realtime segments in the metadata cache.
