Thank you Gopal for pointing the root cause. After running command alter table xxx compact ‘major’ to request a force compaction, total length is right !
Is there any way to do compact immediately after insert values.

This is the INT_MAX “placeholder” value for uncompacted ACID tables. This is because with ACIDv1 there is no way to generate splits against uncompacted files, so this gets “an empty bucket + unknown number of inserts + updates” placeholder value. Cheers, Gopal
