The output of command [kudu local_replica data_size] are shown below, but it seems that the **Total live blocks** are the total block number of the table, not specific tablet:
Total live blocks: 22515001 Total live bytes: 1362248371390 Total live bytes (after alignment): 1446784176128 Total number of LBM containers: 22403 (17366 full) ..... ..... table schema: create table venus.ods_xk_pay_fee_order( time_day bigint, CREATETIME BIGINT, BUYERID BIGINT, SELLERID BIGINT, ORDERID String, BIZID BIGINT, ID BIGINT, SELLERFAMILYID BIGINT, PRODUCTID BIGINT, PRODUCTTYPE BIGINT, PRICE BIGINT, REALPRICE BIGINT, DISCOUNT BIGINT, SHARERATE BIGINT, DEVICETYPE BIGINT, DEVICEID String, APPID BIGINT, PKNAME String, APPVERSION String, CREATEIP BIGINT, SERIALID String, SCID String, COMPLETESTATUS BIGINT, COMPLETETIME BIGINT, TRYCOUNT BIGINT, APPCHANNEL String, SDKID BIGINT, LIVESTATUS BIGINT, PAYSTATUS BIGINT, THRIDORDERID String, LIVESOURCE BIGINT, LIVEPRODUCTTYPE BIGINT, PAYMODE BIGINT, SUBPRODUCTTYPE BIGINT, SALETYPE BIGINT, primary key(time_day, createtime, buyerid, sellerid, orderid, bizid, id)) partition by hash (time_day, createtime, buyerid, sellerid, orderid, bizid, id) partitions 3, range(time_day)(PARTITION 1483200000 <= values < 1514736000, ...) stored as kudu There are only 3.3 millions records[in 3 tablets] in this table, and less 50 thousands records are ingested in this table every day, with many updates. I deep dived into kudu flags configuration and found the following flags related to **BLOCK_SIZE**, what is the recommended value of these flags: --cfile_default_block_size=262144 --deltafile_default_block_size=32768 -default_composite_key_index_block_size_bytes=4096 --tablet_bloom_block_size=4096 On Tue, Aug 14, 2018 at 5:41 AM Adar Lieber-Dembo <a...@cloudera.com> wrote: > > Even if the kudu server started, it also spent too much copying tablet, > as the following tablet block copying log: > > > > > > Tablet 1ecbe230e14a4d9f9125dbc49c32860e of table > 'impala::venus.ods_xk_pay_fee_order' is under-replicated: 1 replica(s) not > RUNNING > > 41e4489d38924c85a4810bd33ef60d80 (bj-yz-hadoop01-1-12:7050): bad state > > State: INITIALIZED > > Data state: TABLET_DATA_COPYING > > Last status: Tablet Copy: Downloading block 0000000084111077 > (299837/1177225) > > 52a9ede038a04566860ecd2e54388738 (bj-yz-hadoop01-1-51:7050): RUNNING > > b133f6fd0c274b93b21ffcbdcbbde830 (bj-yz-hadoop01-1-14:7050): RUNNING > [LEADER] > > I see that this tablet has over a million blocks, but how are you > measuring that it's spending too much time copying?
