Peter Vary created HIVE-21402: --------------------------------- Summary: Compaction state remains 'working' when major compaction fails Key: HIVE-21402 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-21402 Project: Hive Issue Type: Bug Components: Transactions Affects Versions: 4.0.0 Reporter: Peter Vary
When calcite is not on the HMS classpath, and query based compaction is enabled then the compaction fails with NoClassDefFound error. Since the catch block only catches Exceptions the following code block is not executed: {code:java} } catch (Exception e) { LOG.error("Caught exception while trying to compact " + ci + ". Marking failed to avoid repeated failures, " + StringUtils.stringifyException(e)); msc.markFailed(CompactionInfo.compactionInfoToStruct(ci)); msc.abortTxns(Collections.singletonList(compactorTxnId)); } {code} So the compaction is not set to failed. Would be better to catch Throwable instead of Exception -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
