Hive Compactor doesn´t launch cleaner

avatar
New Contributor

Hello,

there are problems with Hive Compactor. We can see in hivemetastore.log this message "Max block location exceeded for split" and it´s appearing more and more times.
After that, the "compactor.Cleaner" is not launched.

We observed that after a Hive Metastore restart, the "compactor.Cleaner" has not been launched nevermore, but logs doesn´t display any message about it.

Could be a degradation of the Hive Compactor when delta files are growing in the partitions?

Regards.

 

Hive 3.1.0

Hadoop 3.1.1

 

 

 

 

hive.compactor.initiator.on = true 
hive.compactor.job.queue = compactions 
hive.compactor.worker.threads = 6 
hive.metastore.thrift.compact.protocol.enabled = true 
hive.compactor.check.interval = 120s 
hive.compactor.delta.num.threshold = 5 
hive.compactor.cleaner.run.interval = 5s 
hive.compactor.worker.timeout = 300s 
hive.compactor.max.num.delta = 100 
hive.compactor.abortedtxn.threshold = 100 hive.compactor.initiator.failed.compacts.threshold = 10 hive.compactor.history.retention.succeeded = 5 
hive.compactor.history.retention.failed = 5 
hive.compactor.history.retention.attempted = 5

 

 

 

The Worker initiatior is not running automatically (I dont understand why) , so I've launched a manual major compactor:

There are not errors in job compaction (5 attempts map OK), are finished successly, in "show compaction" i can see the status "ready for cleaning" but the Cleaner is not launched never.

 

And finally in S3, It has added a base file more in the partitition but It hasnt deleted the delta files and the other base

Two question:

- Why initiatior is not running automatically

- Why Cleaner is not launched never

 

Any suggestion please?

Solved

We have moved configs Initiatior.on from hiveserver to hivemetastore

 

hive.compactor.initiator.on = true
