Kishen Das created HIVE-24275: --------------------------------- Summary: Introduce a configuration to delay the deletion of obsolete files by the Cleaner Key: HIVE-24275 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-24275 Project: Hive Issue Type: New Feature Reporter: Kishen Das
Whenever compaction happens, the cleaner immediately deletes older obsolete files. In certain cases it would be beneficial to retain these for certain period. For example : if you are serving the file metadata from cache and don't want to invalidate the cache during compaction because of performance reasons. For this purpose we should introduce a configuration hive.compactor.delayed.cleanup.enabled, which if enabled will delay the cleaning up obsolete files. There should be a separate configuration CLEANER_RETENTION_TIME to specific the duration till which we should retain these older obsolete files. It might be beneficial to have one more configuration to decide whether to retain files involved in an aborted transaction hive.compactor.aborted.txn.delayed.cleanup.enabled . -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
