Description
Currently segment reload/refresh is done asynchronously. There is no way for Pinot admin to know whether the segment reload/refresh request is fully done on server side. It could be possible that multiple reload/refresh are made, which can cause race conditions.
We need some way to figure out the state of the reload/refresh request on server side.
Some thoughts:
* Add server level APIs to fetch the state.
* Add callback when the request is done.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by tracing the server-side segment reload/refresh request path and reviewing existing server-level admin APIs. Compare an API for request state with a completion callback, then define how an administrator can tell that the request is fully complete and how repeated requests avoid race conditions.
