So it took me a bit to understand the
terminology. In the 1.2.4 release notes you mention once you
upgrade to 1.2.4 one cannot revert a catalog back to 1.2.3 or
older without doing some manual steps which you all can
provide.
So that begs the following questions:
1.
Can one upgrade an existing
catalog that maybe was created in version 1.2.0, 1.2.2, or
1.2.3 to an newer version and get any indexing improvements
without dropping and re-ingesting?
2.
Can one update the catalog to
have new fields (i.e. add a second geometry or just new
ifelds) and then any new ingests of the existing records as
well as new records will fill out those new columns?
I understand now how to manually update one
of the rows in the catalog now but many of the rows are
related and as I can see from schemas when I ingested under
1.2.0 and 1.2.3 that the attributes row looks different
depending on the geomesa version I created the simple feature
attribute type with.
So I am not sure if I can upgrade an
existing simple feature type/catalog or how to do it.
Any explanation or pointer to an area of
the documentation would be appreciated.
