Summary
spiceai/spiceai#11284 adds the dataset-level
schema_inferencefield, which controls how deeply the runtime infers source-schema metadata. It was undocumented (only referenced indirectly from the Cayenne accelerator page, which requiresschema_inference: extendedfor adaptive auto-tuning). This adds a reference section in the dataset spec.Documents both values verified against source:
standard(default) —SchemaInference::Standard, base column/type inference onlyextended— additionally auto-detects primary key, secondary indexes, and sort/clustering columnsVerified against
crates/spicepod/src/component/dataset.rs(top-level dataset field,#[serde(rename_all = "snake_case")], defaultStandard). The field's own doc-comment confirms only the PostgreSQL and MongoDB connectors emit this metadata; other connectors treatextendedas a no-op, and it applies to all refresh modes.Addition → vNext only (
