You can immediately trigger a major compaction for a cluster in the idle state. When an error occurs during the major compaction of the cluster, you can perform troubleshooting, clear the error, and then continue the major compaction.
Trigger a major compaction
Log on to the OceanBase Cloud Platform (OCP) console.
The Clusters page automatically appears.
In the Clusters list on the Clusters page, find the target cluster and click its name.
In the left-side navigation pane of the page that appears, click Compaction Management.
On the Details of Major Compaction tab, view the major compaction information in the Basic Information section.
After you confirm that the cluster is in the Idle state, click Initiate Major Compaction. The system will initiate a major compaction for all tenants in the cluster.
If the status is Tenant major compaction in progress, you can click View Tenants to view the tenants that are in the progress of the major compaction.
Continue the major compaction
When an error occurs during the major compaction of the tenants, you can click View Tenants to locate the faulty tenant. After you perform troubleshooting, click Clear Exceptions to clear the error flag and continue the major compaction.
Notice
When an error occurs during a major compaction, we recommend that you contact a professional to verify the problem. If you clear the error flag without troubleshooting the error, the error scope may expand.
