Handling schema changes for Kudu replication

Learn how to manually apply schema changes to replicated Kudu tables while maintaining data consistency between source and sink clusters.

Schema change requirements

The replication job does not automatically detect or apply schema changes. If the schema of the source table changes, such as when a column is added, you must perform the change manually on both the source and sink tables. After applying the changes, you must restart the replication job from a savepoint.
