Eugene Koifman updated HIVE-11388: ---------------------------------- Summary: Allow ACID Compactor components to run in multiple metastores (was: there should only be 1 Initiator for compactions per Hive installation) > Allow ACID Compactor components to run in multiple metastores > ------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-11388 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-11388 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Transactions > Affects Versions: 1.0.0 > Reporter: Eugene Koifman > Assignee: Eugene Koifman > Priority: Critical > Attachments: HIVE-11388.patch > > > org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.txn.compactor.Initiator is a thread that runs > inside the metastore service to manage compactions of ACID tables. There > should be exactly 1 instance of this thread (even with multiple Thrift > services). > This is documented in > https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/Hive+Transactions#HiveTransactions-Configuration > but not enforced. > Should add enforcement, since more than 1 Initiator could cause concurrent > attempts to compact the same table/partition - which will not work. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
