Alan Gates commented on HIVE-11388:
-----------------------------------
bq. Does this need to be documented in the wiki for releases 1.3.0 and 2.1.0?
I am not sure. [~ekoifman] is this all of the work needed to make it possible
to run multiple initiators and cleaners, or just part of it? Have we tested
running them in multiple metastores? If the answer to those is yes, then the
answer to [~leftylev]'s question is: "definitely".
> 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.
