> Key: HUDI-1717
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HUDI-1717
> Project: Apache Hudi
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Prashant Wason
> Assignee: Prashant Wason
> Priority: Blocker
> Labels: pull-request-available, sev:critical, user-support-issues
> Fix For: 0.9.0
>
>
> Dataset timeline: C1 C2 C3 Compaction.inflight C4 C5
> Metadata timeline: DC1 DC2 DC3. (DC=deltaCommit)
> Assume the dataset timeline has some completed commits (C1, C2 ... C5) and an
> async compaction operation in progress. Also assume that the metadata table
> is synced only till C3.
> The MetadataTableWriter will not sync any more instants to the Metadata Table
> since an incomplete instant is present next (Compaction.inflight).
> The same sync logic is also used by the MetadataReader to perform the
> in-memory merge of timeline. Hence, the reader will also not consider C4 and
> C5 thereby providing an incorrect and older view of the FileSlices and
> FileGroups.
> Any future ingestion into this table MAY insert data into older versions of
> the FileSlices which will end up being a data loss when queried.
