Description

Currently, we can specify enableDefaultStarTree=True, which will create a default star tree. It will automatically generate the dimensionsSplitOrder by taking the dimension columns and sorting them by cardinality in descending order. It also contains some default pre-aggregations and a maxLeafRecords.

But we can't add more pre-aggregations to the default config.
It would be useful if we can add a config to only generate the dimensionsSplitOrder in descending order, and be able to manually specify the other parts.

Research direction

Start by tracing the existing enableDefaultStarTree configuration and the code that derives dimensionsSplitOrder from dimension cardinalities. Define the configuration behavior so only dimensionsSplitOrder is generated automatically while pre-aggregations and maxLeafRecords remain manually configurable; verify the existing star-tree configuration tests and add coverage for this combination.
