morningman commented on issue #2663: [Proposal] Support partition overwrite operation URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-doris/issues/2663#issuecomment-584438238 > My concern is that Doris should not allow the existence of holes at this time. If there is a hole, it may cause problems in other modules. So I am more inclined to check if it is covered. For the problem you said, then you need the user to create another 3 placeholders partition tp3 [0, 10), tp4 [11, 15), tp5 [18, 20). In this case, we can make the user operate successfully. Actually, Doris do support holes in partition range, and it will not cause any problem.(It is same as user drop a partition in the middle of the ranges). I think let user create the placeholders is not friendly, so may be we can give an option to user, the default behavior is to check strictly. But if user insist, he can set an option to allow replacing partitions with holes.
