hi all, I need to dynamically enable/disable the

peerSegmentDownloadScheme

on a realtime table. If I do this manually by either adding this line or removing it on the table config, it works, but doing it via an environment variable does not (passing an empty env var vs passing this string to be replaced:

, "peerSegmentDownloadScheme": "http"

) . My question is, is there any other way to disable the peer segment download scheme other than removing the setting entirely? I tried this

"peerSegmentDownloadScheme": ""

and it failed with this message:

{
  "code": 400,
  "error": "Invalid value '' for peerSegmentDownloadScheme. Must be one of http or https"
}

I think you're right that you'll need to remove that property, you can't specify something other than

http

or

https

otherwise it's gonna throw that errro

May I ask why you are using the peer download feature? It was primarily built to solve the issue where deepstore had occasional unavailability. Is there the case for you as well?

we're trying to avoid bottlenecks on the controller and following the documentation here for setting up a GKE environment, but we also want this to work locally

Yeah, peer download and eliminating pushing payload to controller should be independent, but somehow tied together. We should decouple these two in the implementation. cc @Neha Pawar @Yupeng Fu

FYI: I ended up implementing as a JSON comment. Like this for local:

"__peerSegmentDownloadScheme__": "http"

and this is for GKE:

"peerSegmentDownloadScheme": "http"

The local is simply ignoring the setting and it all works
