He Yongqiang commented on HIVE-1950: ------------------------------------ QTestUtil.java is not related to this jira. should open a new one for it. >>jobExecHelper is constructed in both the constructors and initialize(). Is >>there a reason? This is because the existing code may use ExecDriver and may not call initialize() (like ExecDriver's main()). >>checkFatalError: why removed some code? No code is removed, just some code is moved to jobExecHelper. > Block merge for RCFile > ---------------------- > > Key: HIVE-1950 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1950 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: He Yongqiang > Assignee: He Yongqiang > Attachments: HIVE-1950.1.patch, HIVE-1950.2.patch, HIVE-1950.3.patch, > HIVE-1950.4.patch > > > In our env, there are a lot of small files inside one partition/table. In > order to reduce the namenode load, we have one dedicated housekeeping job > running to merge these file. Right now the merge is an 'insert overwrite' in > hive, and requires decompress the data and compress it. This jira is to add a > command in Hive to do the merge without decompress and recompress the data. > Something like "alter table tbl_name [partition ()] merge files". In this > jira the new command will only support RCFile, since there need some new APIs > to the fileformat. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
