Purpose
Linked issue: #158
This change improves realtime writes and reads.
For realtime-enabled writes, external engines must provide a leading non-nullable
INT64 _REALTIME_OFFSET:Offsets must be strictly increasing for each partition-bucket, but gaps are allowed. Paimon persists the exclusive committed offset in the snapshot offset file for WAL recovery.
_REALTIME_OFFSETis not written into data files.Because offsets may be sparse,
OffsetRangeremains left-closed and right-open but no longer represents the row count.This PR also moves offset filtering and physical-to-logical conversion into a shared Paimon read pipeline for append-only and primary-key tables. It supports consistent disk and realtime-memory reads for:
Tests
Added or updated coverage for:
API and Format
Realtime write input and RealtimeStore APIs are updated to support external offsets and shared read processing.
Data-file and snapshot offset-file formats are unchanged.
