Review request for hive, Laszlo Pinter and Peter Vary.
Bugs: HIVE-21917
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-21917
Repository: hive-git
Description
-------
The Initiator thread in the metastore repeatedly loops over entries in the
COMPLETED_TXN_COMPONENTS table to determine which partitions / tables might
need to be compacted. However, entries are never removed from this table except
by a completed Compactor run.
In a cluster where most tables / partitions are write-once read-many, this
results in stale entries in this table never being cleaned up. In a small test
cluster, we have observed approximately 45k entries in this table (virtually
equal to the number of partitions in the cluster) while < 100 of these tables
have delta files at all. Since most of the tables will never get enough writes
to trigger a compaction (and in fact have only ever been written to once), the
initiator thread keeps trying to evaluate them on every loop.
