*[Background]* Update operation will clean up delta files before update( see cleanUpDeltaFiles(carbonTable, false)), It's loop traversal metadata path and segment path many times. When there are too many files, the overhead will increase and update time will be longer.
*[Motivation & Goal]* During the update process, reduce loop traversal or remove cleanUpDelteFiles to another method. *[Modification]* There are some solutions as following. Solution 1: In cleanUpDeltaFiles have some same points in get files method, like updateStatusManager.getUpdateDeltaFilesList(segment, false,CarbonCommonConstants.UPDATE_DELTA_FILE_EXT, true, allSegmentFiles,true) and updateStatusManager.getUpdateDeltaFilesList(segment, false,CarbonCommonConstants.UPDATE_INDEX_FILE_EXT, true, allSegmentFiles,true), They are just different file types,but loop traversal segment path twice. we can merge it. Solution 2: Base solution 1,Use Spark or MapReduce to hand over tasks to other nodes. Solution 3: Submit cleanUpDelaFiles to another task, process them in the early morning or when the cluster is not busy. Solution 4: Establish a garbage collection bin, which provides some interfaces for our program to determine when files enter the garbage collection bin and how to deal with them. Please vote for all solutions. Best Regards, LinWood -- Sent from: http://apache-carbondata-dev-mailing-list-archive.1130556.n5.nabble.com/
