Metadata Read Pool Enabled

The metadataReadPoolEnabled flag enables the metadata server read pool, which handles read-only metadata requests on a parallel queue instead of the metadata server’s single serial queue. Disabling it returns every request type to the serial queue.

• Data type - boolean

• Default value - true

• Allowed values - true, false

This flag applies to the metadata server, and is set in the metadata_server_config.json file used by metadata_server. It is not a session or cluster flag, so it cannot be set using SET or ALTER SYSTEM SET, and it does not appear in the sqream_catalog.parameters catalog table.
