### Search before asking - [X] I had searched in the [issues](https://github.com/apache/doris/issues?q=is%3Aissue) and found no similar issues. ### Description There is currently no default partition for list partition. Other DBMS system like GreenPlum supports such [feature](https://gpdb.docs.pivotal.io/6-5/admin_guide/ddl/ddl-partition.html#topic80) that user can create one table using stmt as follows. ```sql CREATE TABLE rank (id int, rank int, year int, gender char(1), count int ) DISTRIBUTED BY (id) PARTITION BY LIST (gender) ( PARTITION girls VALUES ('F'), PARTITION boys VALUES ('M'), DEFAULT PARTITION other ); ``` I'd like Doris could support one default list partition implementation similar to GreenPlum's. For data loading: > If incoming data does not match a partition's CHECK constraint and there is no default partition, the data is rejected. Default partitions ensure that incoming data that does not match a partition is inserted into the default partition. For query: > At runtime, the query optimizer scans the entire table inheritance hierarchy and uses the CHECK table constraints to determine which of the child table partitions to scan to satisfy the query's conditions. The DEFAULT partition (if your hierarchy has one) is always scanned. DEFAULT partitions that contain data slow down the overall scan time. And there exists such occasion where user might at first insert some not satisfying prior partition key data into the table and now create one new partition. It's user's responsibility to migrate the data satisfying new partition's key in default partition to new partition. As for the range default partition, i'll leave it as one future work. ### Use case It would be annoying for users who want to migrate from system supporting default partition like GreenPlum that they have to change their DDL or even worse they can't meet their business requirements which prefer storing all data even not satisfying prior partition key. For those users we can implement such feature which would help a lot. ### Related issues _No response_ ### Are you willing to submit PR? - [X] Yes I am willing to submit a PR! ### Code of Conduct - [X] I agree to follow this project's [Code of Conduct](https://www.apache.org/foundation/policies/conduct) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
