--------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks for the extra details [~dengzh]. In other words we could possibly
confirm if we are hitting this issue by obtaining a full listing of the table
in the file-system (HDFS). If there are buckets that exist in the base
directory and don't exist in the delta directory then this may result in data
loss after compaction. Am I right?

> Key: HIVE-28700
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-28700
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Hive
> Affects Versions: 4.0.0, 4.0.1
> Reporter: Zhihua Deng
> Assignee: Zhihua Deng
> Priority: Blocker
> Labels: hive-4.1.0-must, pull-request-available
> Fix For: 4.1.0
>
>
> Steps to repro:
> set mapreduce.job.reduces=7;
> create table ext(a int);
> insert into table ext values(1),(2),(3),(3),(3),(3),(4),(5),(6),(7);
> create table full_acid(a int) stored as orc
> tblproperties("transactional"="true");
> insert overwrite table full_acid select * from ext where a = 3;
> insert into table full_acid select * from ext where a != 3 group by a;
> select * from full_acid;
> alter table full_acid compact 'major' and wait;
> select * from full_acid;
> After the major compaction, the full_acid table misses records "a = 3";
> This issue might happen on overwrite then insert into or merge the ACID
> table, followed by a major compaction. During the major compaction, due to
> the accidental bucket on the base file and no the same bucket found across
> all the delta files, the compactor will miss this base file, making all
> records in this file loss.
