Denys Kuzmenko commented on HIVE-27991: --------------------------------------- hi [~sbadhya] , [~zhangbutao] what this functionality ever used? For the partitioned iceberg tables, we always add a customSortExpr per partition spec. I am looking at HIVE-25948 and planning to incorporate HIVE_OPT_SORT_DYNAMIC_PARTITION_THRESHOLD to decide if we need any dyn sort expressions. > Utilise FanoutWriters when inserting records in an Iceberg table when the > records are unsorted > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-27991 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-27991 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Sourabh Badhya > Assignee: Sourabh Badhya > Priority: Major > Labels: pull-request-available > Fix For: 4.0.0 > > > FanoutWriter is a writer in Iceberg which can be used to write records in a > table. This writer keeps all the file handles open, until the write is > finished. FanoutWriters is used as the writer when the incoming records are > unsorted.
