----------------------------------
Alan,
I created a wrong patch about 1 hour ago. Before I removed it. QA automatically
did the above test. Please ignore and look the current attached patch. I think
it really solves the issue.
> Delta files created by hive hcatalog streaming cannot be compacted

> Key: HIVE-8966

> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: HCatalog
> Affects Versions: 0.14.0
> Environment: hive
> Reporter: Jihong Liu
> Assignee: Alan Gates
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: 0.14.1

> hive hcatalog streaming will also create a file like bucket_n_flush_length in
> each delta directory. Where "n" is the bucket number. But the
> compactor.CompactorMR think this file also needs to compact. However this
> file of course cannot be compacted, so compactor.CompactorMR will not
> continue to do the compaction.
> Did a test, after removed the bucket_n_flush_length file, then the "alter
> table partition compact" finished successfully. If don't delete that file,
> nothing will be compacted.
> This is probably a very severity bug. Both 0.13 and 0.14 have this issue
