- Key fetched from metadata table especially from base file reader is not sorted. and hence may result in throwing NPE (key prefix search) or unnecessary seeks to starting of Hfile (full key look ups). Fixing the same in this patch. This is not an issue with log blocks, since sorting is taking care within HoodieHfileDataBlock.
- Commit where the sorting was mistakenly reverted [HUDI-3760] Adding capability to fetch Metadata Records by prefix #5208
