Eugene Koifman created HIVE-20874: ------------------------------------- Summary: Add ability to to run high priority compaction Key: HIVE-20874 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-20874 Project: Hive Issue Type: New Feature Components: Transactions Affects Versions: 1.0.0 Reporter: Eugene Koifman
currently all compaction requests (via Alter Table command or auto initiated (\{{Initiator.java}}) land in a queue (\{{COMPACTION_QUEUE}} metastore DB table) and are executed in order. If the queue is long and some table/partition needs to e compacted urgently, there is no way to send it to the beginning of the queue. Need a way to address this. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
