This section introduce all available spark procedures about paimon.

Procedure Name Explanation Example
compact To compact files. Argument:
  • table: the target table identifier. Cannot be empty.
  • partitions: partition filter. "," means "AND"
    ";" means "OR".If you want to compact one partition with date=01 and day=01, you need to write 'date=01,day=01'. Left empty for all partitions. (Can't be used together with "where")
  • where: partition predicate. Left empty for all partitions. (Can't be used together with "partitions")
  • order_strategy: 'order' or 'zorder' or 'hilbert' or 'none'. Left empty for 'none'.
  • order_columns: the columns need to be sort. Left empty if 'order_strategy' is 'none'.
  • partition_idle_time: this is used to do a full compaction for partition which had not received any new data for 'partition_idle_time'. And only these partitions will be compacted. This argument can not be used with order compact.
  • SET spark.sql.shuffle.partitions=10; --set the compact parallelism

    CALL sys.compact(table => 'T', partitions => 'p=0;p=1', order_strategy => 'zorder', order_by => 'a,b')

    CALL sys.compact(table => 'T', where => 'p>0 and p<3', order_strategy => 'zorder', order_by => 'a,b')

    expire_snapshots To expire snapshots. Argument:
  • table: the target table identifier. Cannot be empty.

  • max_deletes: the maximum number of snapshots that can be deleted at once.
  • CALL sys.expire_snapshots(table => 'default.T', retain_max => 10)
    expire_partitions To expire partitions. Argument:
  • table: the target table identifier. Cannot be empty.

  • timestamp_formatter: the formatter to format timestamp from string.
  • timestamp_pattern: the pattern to get a timestamp from partitions.
  • expire_strategy: specifies the expiration strategy for partition expiration, possible values: 'values-time' or 'update-time' , 'values-time' as default.

  • time_retained: The maximum time retained for newly created tags.
  • -- based on snapshot 10 with 1d
    CALL sys.create_tag(table => 'default.T', tag => 'my_tag', snapshot => 10, time_retained => '1 d')

    -- based on the latest snapshot

    create_tag_from_timestamp To create a tag based on given timestamp. Arguments:
  • identifier: the target table identifier. Cannot be empty.

  • timestamp (Long): Find the first snapshot whose commit-time is greater than this timestamp.
  • time_retained : The maximum time retained for newly created tags.
  • CALL sys.create_tag_from_timestamp(`table` => 'default.T', `tag` => 'my_tag', `timestamp` => 1724404318750, time_retained => '1 d')
    delete_tag To delete a tag. Arguments:
  • table: the target table identifier. Cannot be empty.
  • tag: name of the tag to be deleted. If you specify multiple tags, delimiter is ','.
  • CALL sys.delete_tag(table => 'default.T', tag => 'my_tag')
    rollback To rollback to a specific version of target table. Argument:
  • table: the target table identifier. Cannot be empty.
  • version: id of the snapshot or name of tag that will roll back to.
  • CALL sys.rollback(table => 'default.T', version => 'my_tag')

    migrate_table Migrate hive table to a paimon table. Arguments:

  • options: the table options of the paimon table to migrate.
  • target_table: name of the target paimon table to migrate. If not set would keep the same name with origin table
