Major Description
Impala uses the Java client during the execution of CREATE TABLE statements to create and set the schema of Kudu tables; the Java client is also used during metadata loading. As part of IMPALA-3726, more column options are added in the CREATE TABLE statement, including BLOCK_SIZE (desired block size for columns). Setting the block size doesn't seem to have any effect and when the schema of Kudu tables is loaded from Kudu, the desired block size is always 0 (as returned by ColumnSchema.getDesiredBlockSize()).
