ATTACHMENT ID: 12692362 - PreCommit-HIVE-TRUNK-Build > HCatalog hardcodes maximum append limit to 1000. > ------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HIVE-9381 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-9381 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Components: HCatalog > Reporter: Sushanth Sowmyan > Assignee: Sushanth Sowmyan > Attachments: HIVE-9381.patch > > > When HCatalog appends to a table, it tries to avoid fileclashes while moving > by appending a "_a_NNN" suffix to a file if there is a clash, where the NNN > is a number from 0 to 999. > This limit is hardcoded and this causes issues with some users who have > tables with a large number of files. Ideally, we should push back on those > users to change their usecase, or run some manner of compactions on their > table (a CREATE TABLE AS SELECT from this table to another table, followed by > a drop and re creating as select from the other table would suffice, for > example). But, for users where those are not viable solutions, we need to > help them get unstuck. One way is by making that hardcoded parameter a > configuration parameter. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
