Sai Hemanth Gantasala commented on HIVE-26793: ---------------------------------------------- This patch will cause build failures locally when compiled with thrift because this change [https://github.com/apache/hive/pull/3822/files#diff-944faa284e92a1090cd79c781b54acf30fb2ab29f78cf952576036f452577cf4R66] The hive_metastoreConstants.java is generated file based on constants declared in hive_metastore.thrift class. Please make the desired change ([https://github.com/apache/hive/blob/master/standalone-metastore/metastore-common/src/main/thrift/hive_metastore.thrift#L3184]) in hive_metastore.thrift and then compile hive using thrift which would then generate the required change in hive_metastoreConstants.java class. [~kokila19] Can you please raise an addendum patch with the above-suggested changes? > Create a new configuration to override "no compaction" for tables > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-26793 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-26793 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Kokila N > Assignee: Kokila N > Priority: Major > Labels: pull-request-available > Time Spent: 4h 50m > Remaining Estimate: 0h > > Currently a simple user can create a table with > {color:#6a8759}no_auto_compaction=true{color} table property and create an > aborted write transaction writing to this table. This way a malicious user > can prevent cleaning up data for the aborted transaction, creating > performance degradation. > This configuration should be allowed to overridden on a database level: > adding {color:#6a8759}no_auto_compaction=false{color} should override the > table level setting forcing the initiator to schedule compaction for all > tables. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
