Summary: Support Overwrite Directory On Commit For S3A Committers
Key: HADOOP-18842
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-18842
Project: Hadoop Common
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Syed Shameerur Rahman
The goal is to add a new kind of commit mechanism in which the destination
directory is cleared off before committing the file.
*Use Case*
In case of dynamicPartition insert overwrite queries, The destination directory
which needs to be overwritten are not known before the execution and hence it
becomes a challenge to clear off the destination directory.
One approach to handle this is, The underlying engines/client will clear off
all the destination directories before calling the commitJob operation but the
issue with this approach is that, In case of failures while committing the
files, We might end up with the whole of previous data being deleted making the
recovery process difficult or time consuming.
*Solution*
Based on mode of commit operation either *INSERT* or *OVERWRITE* , During
commitJob operations, The committer will map each destination directory with
the commits which needs to be added in the directory and if the mode is
*OVERWRITE* , The committer will delete the directory recursively and then
commit each of the files in the directory. So in case of failures (worst case)
The number of destination directory which will be deleted will be equal to the
number of threads if we do it in multi-threaded way as compared to the whole
data if it was done in the engine side.
