    Description

      Dan on the Kudu team suggested removing the ability to use implicit column names in the DISTRIBUTE BY clause.

      Ex "DISTRIBUTE BY HASH INTO 4 BUCKETS" is allowed now and would use all the primary keys as the hash columns.

      Both RANGE and HASH would/should require explicit naming. Apparently the implicit schema definitions have lead to poor results in the past.
