    Description

      Summary:
      Customers like creating tables similar to innodb counter parts easily.
      However running the following doesnt use cpimport and just inserts 1 row at a time taking forever

      create table sales_data_cs engine=Columnstore as select * from sales_data;
      

      This is a bad user experience and very inefficient

      Work around:

      create table t2 engine=columnstore as select * from t1 limit 1;
      truncate table t2;
      insert into t2 select * from t1;        --- will use cpimport
      

      Expected:
      Running create table as should run almost as fast as when doing the work around approach that splits the query into three queries

      Reproduction:

      CREATE TABLE test_table (
      group_name CHAR(2),
      number1 DECIMAL(12, 2),
      number2 DECIMAL(12, 2),
      var varchar(1)
      );
       
      INSERT INTO test_table
      SELECT CAST(ROUND(RAND() * 10, 0) AS CHAR),
      ROUND(RAND() * 1000000, 2),
      ROUND(RAND() * 1000, 2),
      substring(MD5(RAND()),1,1)
      FROM seq_1_to_2000000;
       
      create table test_columnstore engine=Columnstore as select * from test_table;
      --- forever
       
       
      -- hack
      create table test_columnstore engine=Columnstore as select * from test_table limit 1;
      truncate table test_columnstore;
      insert into test_columnstore select * from test_table;
      # 5.273
