Hi Akash, 1. the update operation still has "deletdelta" files, it keeps the same with previous. horizontal compaction is still needed.
2. loading one carbonindexmerge file will fast, and not impact the query performance. (customer has faced this issue) 3. for insert/loading, it can trigger compaction to avoid small segments. ----- Best Regards David Cai -- Sent from: http://apache-carbondata-dev-mailing-list-archive.1130556.n5.nabble.com/
