@asheeshgarg : To grow an existing file, hudi creates a new file-version of the file and doesnt try modifying the existing file (https://hudi.apache.org/docs/concepts.html). This is to ensure snapshot isolation to readers who are reading the query when writes are happening. Note that removing older file versions is the responsibility of Hoodie Cleaner (https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/HUDI/FAQ#FAQ-WhatdoestheHudicleanerdo). If you do not want to have lot of previous versions of the file lying around, you can go ahead and set the cleaner config as specified in the above link. Hope this helps. Let me know if this did not help. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
