----------------------------------
Summary: Use the new "REFUSED" compaction state where it makes
sense
Key: HIVE-26026
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-26026
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Hive
Reporter: László Végh
The org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.txn.compactor.Worker#findNextCompactionAndExecute
method does several checks (The table/partition exists, is not sorted, there
are enough files to compact, etc.) before it actually executes the compaction
request. If the compaction request fails on any of these checks, it is put to
"SUCCEEDED" state which is often misleading for users. SHOW COMPACTIONS will
show these requests as succeeded without an error, while the table is not
compacted at all.
For these cases, the state should be "REFUSED" instead of "SUCCEEDED" among
with the appropriate error message.
