This command explicitly adds a user-defined indexed column to VAST Catalog for an S3 tag, S3 metadata attribute, or an NFSv4.2 extended attribute. The added column for an S3 tag is named tag_<name>, where <name> is the name you supply for the tag. The added column for an S3 metadata attribute is named metadata_<name>, where <name> is the name you supply for the metadata attribute. The added column for an S3 metadata attribute is named nfs4_xattr_<name>, where <name> is the name you supply for the NFsv4.2 extended attribute.
Note
VAST Catalog indexes all S3 tags found in objects and buckets as key-pair values in the
user_tagscolumn, regardless of whether user-defined attributes are specified.
