IWA: Adding a column in a table used on datamart shouldn't invalidate the datamart

If you alter the schema of a fact table used on datamart, adding a new column, the datamart is invalidated and you're forced to republish the datamart and reload the mart.

The request is about not invalidating the datamart if you just add a new column in tables involved in the datamart.

Same applies if you just drop or create an index. Datamarts shouldn't be invalidated.
