----------------------------------
Resolution: Duplicate
> Cleaner shouldn't run if it can't remove obsolete files
> -------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HIVE-24302
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-24302
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Karen Coppage
> Assignee: Karen Coppage
> Priority: Major
> Labels: pull-request-available
> Time Spent: 0.5h
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> Example:
> # open txn 5, leave it open (maybe it's a long-running compaction)
> # insert into table t in txns 6, 7 with writeids 1, 2
> # compactor.Worker runs on table t and compacts writeids 1, 2
> # compactor.Cleaner picks up the compaction queue entry, but doesn't delete
> any files because the min global open txnid is 5, which cannot see writeIds
> 1, 2.
> # Cleaner marks the compactor queue entry as cleaned and removes the entry
> from the queue.
> delta_1 and delta_2 will remain in the file system until another compaction
> is run on table t.
> Step 5 should not happen, we should skip calling markCleaned() and leave it
> in the queue in "ready to clean" state. MarkCleaned() should be called only
> after txn 5 is closed and, following that, the cleaner runs successfully.
> This will potentially slow down the cleaner, but on the other hand it won't
> silently "fail" i.e. not do its job.
