Vaibhav Gumashta commented on HIVE-21402: ----------------------------------------- +1 > 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 > Assignee: Peter Vary > Priority: Major > Attachments: HIVE-21402.patch > > > 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)
