- Add the ability to re-allocate dml/delta channel on demand.
Public Interfaces

//TODO proto here
Design Details
- Update meta in RootCoord and record the freezing timestamp
- Write a FreezingCollection message into dml channel
- If a datanode receives a FreezingCollection message, it shall flush all segments in the memory and close the flowgraph after notifying the DataCoord
- If a querynode received a FreezingCollection message, its shall close the flowgraph and notify the QueryCoord. While the growing segment shall remains the same and waits for the hand-off.
