Zoltan Haindrich commented on HIVE-25672: ----------------------------------------- I tried to reproduce this issue; at first metastore.compactor.initiator.on was disabled on my cluster for some reason; but after turning that on things started working correctly: * a metastore with 52M of heap was able to cleanup 10K of records in no time ** and was OOM-ed for 100K * a metastore with 966K rows in the COMPLETED_COMPACTIONS table ** removed 50773 rows multiple times - and was able to reduce the volume to below 100 in around a minute I don't know if we have an issue here - as it seems like that most likely for some reason either the `AcidHouseKeeperService` is not running - or stopped running for some reason > Hive isn't purging older compaction entries from show compaction command > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HIVE-25672 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-25672 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Hive, Metastore, Transactions > Affects Versions: 3.1.1 > Reporter: Rohan Nimmagadda > Priority: Minor > > Added below properties in hive-site, but it's not enforced to auto purging. > When we run show compaction command it takes forever and returns billions of > rows. > Result of show compactions command : > {code:java} > 752,450 rows selected (198.066 seconds) > {code} > {code:java} > hive.compactor.history.retention.succeeded": "10", > "hive.compactor.history.retention.failed": "10", > "hive.compactor.history.retention.attempted": "10", > "hive.compactor.history.reaper.interval": "10m" {code} -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.1#820001)
