Jacques commented on HIVE-11388:
--------------------------------
The documentation for hive.compactor.initiator.on
at [https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/Configuration+Properties]
still mentions "It's critical that this is enabled on exactly one metastore
service instance (not enforced yet)."
i.e. missing the "As of Hive 1.3.0 this property may be enabled on any number
of standalone metastore instances." comment added to the link above.
Should both links be in sync?
> Allow ACID Compactor components to run in multiple metastores

> (this description is no loner accurate; see further comments)
> org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.txn.compactor.Initiator is a thread that runs
> inside the metastore service to manage compactions of ACID tables. There
> should be exactly 1 instance of this thread (even with multiple Thrift
> services).
> This is documented in
> https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/Hive+Transactions#HiveTransactions-Configuration
> but not enforced.
> Should add enforcement, since more than 1 Initiator could cause concurrent
> attempts to compact the same table/partition - which will not work.
