Wei Zheng commented on HIVE-13354: ---------------------------------- New usages after this improvement. - Allow new tblproperties on DDL. - Specify compactor MR job properties. e.g. CREATE TABLE t1 ... TBLPROPERTIES ('compactor.mapreduce.map.memory.mb'='1024'); - Specify compactor thresholds for triggering compaction (currently, hive.compactor.delta.num.threshold and hive.compactor.delta.pct.threshold). e.g. CREATE TABLE t1 ... TBLPROPERTIES ('compactorthreshold.hive.compactor.delta.num.threshold'='5'); - Allow tblproperties on ALTER TABLE .. COMPACT. - Speficy compactor MR job properties or other hive properties. ALTER TABLE t1 ... COMPACT ... WITH OVERWRITE TBLPROPERTIES ('compactor.mapreduce.map.memory.mb'='1024', 'tblprops.orc.compress.size'='8192'); > Add ability to specify Compaction options per table and per request > ------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-13354 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-13354 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 1.3.0, 2.0.0 > Reporter: Eugene Koifman > Assignee: Eugene Koifman > Labels: TODOC2.1 > > Currently the are a few options that determine when automatic compaction is > triggered. They are specified once for the warehouse. > This doesn't make sense - some table may be more important and need to be > compacted more often. > We should allow specifying these on per table basis. > Also, compaction is an MR job launched from within the metastore. There is > currently no way to control job parameters (like memory, for example) except > to specify it in hive-site.xml for metastore which means they are site wide. > Should add a way to specify these per table (perhaps even per compaction if > launched via ALTER TABLE) -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
