Try the one you missed:

    SYSTEM."SEQUENCE"

i.e., quote the bits separately (but SYSTEM doesn't need quoting), and put it in caps.

I don't think it's trying to stop you looking inside the table. I think it's complaining that SEQUENCE is a keyword, and shouldn't be appearing there.

You could try quoting it.

OK - so the traditional methods of recreating sequences, that makes sense.

Interestingly btw, at least from within Phoenix I can’t see the content of SYSTEM.SEQUENCE. I get the following error:-

0: jdbc:phoenix:redacted,> select count(*) from system.sequence;
Error: ERROR 604 (42P00): Syntax error. Mismatched input. Expecting "NAME", got "sequence" at line 1, column 29. (state=42P00,code=604)

I do understand this is a system table, but it would be nice to see inside it. This is from Apache Phoenix 4.2 on HDP 2.2.6.

If no one else will be hitting the table while you complete the operation, and if you don't mind about missing a few sequence values (i.e., having a gap), you should just need the following.

    SELECT NEXT VALUE FOR sequencename FROM sometable;

That will tell you the next value the sequence wants to hand out.

    DROP SEQUENCE sequencename;

Then reconnect with the property as given below, and

    CREATE SEQUENCE sequencename START WITH n;

where n is the value you retrieved in the first step.

The reason this might cause gaps is that client connections will cache sequence values, so the one you retrieve might not actually be the first one that hasn't been used; it'll just be the first one cached by the connection you're using. But if you do it this way, and nothing else is connected in the meantime, then you won't get any duplicates.

As far as I can see, if you're the only connected client, this *should* do it with no gaps: no other clients will have cached any sequence values, so you'll retrieve the first one your connection has cached (which will be the first one available), and then that's where your sequence will start when you recreate the sequence. But I'm not absolutely certain about that, and you might want to try some experiments.

If the sequence is being used for a primary key column (a sort of auto_increment), then the other option is to

    SELECT MAX(id) FROM sometable;

and then add one to this value to determine where the recreated sequence should start. That will ensure no gaps.

Thanks for this information. Seeing as I am using Phoenix 4.2, what is the safe and approved sequence of steps to drop this table and recreate it as you mention? Additionally, how do we ensure we don’t lose sequence data?

For older versions you can drop sequence table and reconnect with setting client side phoenix.sequence.saltBuckets property.

    Hi

    By default SYSTEM.SEQUENCE is installed with 256 regions. In
    an environment where you don’t have a large number of tables
    and regions (yet), the end result of this seems to be that
    with hbase balance_switch=true, you end up with a lot of
    region servers with nothing but empty SYSTEM.SEQUENCE regions
    on them. That mans inefficient use of our cluster.

    Have there been any best practices developed as to how to
    deal with this situation?
