materialize_projections_on_insert

When enabled, INSERTs create new parts with projections. Otherwise, they can be created by explicit MATERIALIZE PROJECTION or during merges with materialize_projections_on_merge.

materialize_projections_on_merge

When enabled, a merge rebuilds a projection that is missing from all of its source parts (for example because they were inserted with materialize_projections_on_insert = 0), so the merged part has the projection. Merges still only combine parts that share the same set of projections. To backfill a projection to all existing parts, use an explicit MATERIALIZE PROJECTION. Projections are also created during INSERTs with materialize_projections_on_insert.
