> Add a check to ensure there is no data loss when writing to HUDI dataset

> Key: HUDI-1357
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HUDI-1357
> Project: Apache Hudi
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Prashant Wason
> Assignee: Prashant Wason
> Priority: Major
> Labels: pull-request-available
> Fix For: 0.7.0
>
>
> When updating a HUDI dataset with updates + deletes, records from existing
> base files are read and merged with updates+deletes and finally written to
> newer base files.
> It should hold that:
> count(records_in_older_base file) + num_deletes = count(records_in_new_base
> file)
> In our internal production deployment, we had an issue wherein due to parquet
> bug in handling the schema, reading existing records returned null data. This
> lead to many records not being written out from older parquet into newer
> parquet file.
> This check will ensure that such issues do not lead to data loss by
> triggering an exception when the expected record counts do not match. This
> check is off by default and controlled through a HoodieWriteConfig parameter.
