Antal Sinkovits reassigned HIVE-25492: -------------------------------------- Assignee: Antal Sinkovits > Major query-based compaction is skipped if partition is empty > ------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-25492 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-25492 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Karen Coppage > Assignee: Antal Sinkovits > Priority: Major > > Currently if the result of query-based compaction is an empty base, delta, or > delete delta, the empty directory is deleted. > This is because of minor compaction – if there are only deltas to compact, > then no compacted delete delta should be created (only a compacted delta). In > the same way, if there are only delete deltas to compact, then no compacted > delta should be created (only a compacted delete delta). > There is an issue with major compaction. If all the data in the partition has > been deleted, then we should get an empty base directory after compaction. > Instead, the empty base directory is deleted because it's empty and > compaction claims to succeed but we end up with the same deltas/delete deltas > we started with – basically compaction does not run. > Where to start?
