+title: Basic Configurations
+toc: true
+---
+
+This page covers the basic configurations you may use to write/read Hudi tables. This page only features a subset of the
+most frequently used configurations. For a full list of all configs, please visit the [All Configurations](/docs/configurations) page.
+
+- [**Spark Datasource Configs**](#SPARK_DATASOURCE): These configs control the Hudi Spark Datasource, providing ability to define keys/partitioning, pick out the write operation, specify how to merge records or choosing query type to read.
+- [**Flink Sql Configs**](#FLINK_SQL): These configs control the Hudi Flink SQL source/sink connectors, providing ability to define record keys, pick out the write operation, specify how to merge records, enable/disable asynchronous compaction or choosing query type to read.
+- [**Write Client Configs**](#WRITE_CLIENT): Internally, the Hudi datasource uses a RDD based HoodieWriteClient API to actually perform writes to storage. These configs provide deep control over lower level aspects like file sizing, compression, parallelism, compaction, write schema, cleaning etc. Although Hudi provides sane defaults, from time-time these configs may need to be tweaked to optimize for specific workloads.
+- [**Metrics Configs**](#METRICS): These set of configs are used to enable monitoring and reporting of key Hudi stats and metrics.
+- [**Record Payload Config**](#RECORD_PAYLOAD): This is the lowest level of customization offered by Hudi. Record payloads define how to produce new values to upsert based on incoming new record and stored old record. Hudi provides default implementations such as OverwriteWithLatestAvroPayload which simply update table with the latest/last-written record. This can be overridden to a custom class extending HoodieRecordPayload class, on both datasource and WriteClient levels.

+## Write Client Configs {#WRITE_CLIENT}
+Internally, the Hudi datasource uses a RDD based HoodieWriteClient API to actually perform writes to storage. These configs provide deep control over lower level aspects like file sizing, compression, parallelism, compaction, write schema, cleaning etc. Although Hudi provides sane defaults, from time-time these configs may need to be tweaked to optimize for specific workloads.
+
+### Storage Configs
+

+
+> #### hoodie.combine.before.upsert
+> When upserted records share same key, controls whether they should be first combined (i.e de-duplicated) before writing to storage. This should be turned off only if you are absolutely certain that there are no duplicates incoming, otherwise it can lead to duplicate keys and violate the uniqueness guarantees.<br></br>

+
+---
+
+> #### hoodie.combine.before.insert

Available values are - GLOBAL_SORT: this ensures best file sizes, with lowest memory overhead at cost of sorting. PARTITION_SORT: Strikes a balance by only sorting within a partition, still keeping the memory overhead of writing lowest and best effort file sizing. NONE: No sorting. Fastest and matches `spark.write.parquet()` in terms of nu [...]

+
+---
+
+> #### hoodie.finalize.write.parallelism

+> **Default Value**: 200 (Optional)<br></br>
+> `Config Param: FINALIZE_WRITE_PARALLELISM_VALUE`<br></br>
+
+---
+
+### Compaction Configs {#Compaction-Configs}

+
+`Config Class`: org.apache.hudi.config.HoodieCompactionConfig<br></br>
+
+> #### hoodie.cleaner.policy
+> Cleaning policy to be used. The cleaner service deletes older file slices files to re-claim space. By default, cleaner spares the file slices written by the last N commits, determined by hoodie.cleaner.commits.retained Long running query plans may often refer to older file slices and will break if those are cleaned, before the query has had a chance to run. So, it is good to make sure that the data is retained for more than the maximum query execution time<br></br>
+> **Default Value**: KEEP_LATEST_COMMITS (Optional)<br></br>
+> `Config Param: CLEANER_POLICY`<br></br>
+
+---
+
+> #### hoodie.copyonwrite.record.size.estimate

+
+---
+
+> #### hoodie.cleaner.commits.retained

+> `Config Param: CLEANER_COMMITS_RETAINED`<br></br>
+
+---
+
+> #### hoodie.clean.async

+> **Default Value**: false (Optional)<br></br>
+> `Config Param: ASYNC_CLEAN`<br></br>
+
+---
+
+> #### hoodie.clean.automatic
+> When enabled, the cleaner table service is invoked immediately after each commit, to delete older file slices. It's recommended to enable this, to ensure metadata and data storage growth is bounded.<br></br>

+
+---
+
+> #### hoodie.parquet.small.file.limit
+> During upsert operation, we opportunistically expand existing small files on storage, instead of writing new files, to keep number of files to an optimum. This config sets the file size limit below which a file on storage becomes a candidate to be selected as such a `small file`. By default, treat any file <= 100MB as a small file.<br></br>
+> **Default Value**: 104857600 (Optional)<br></br>
+> `Config Param: PARQUET_SMALL_FILE_LIMIT`<br></br>

+> `Config Param: MIN_COMMITS_TO_KEEP`<br></br>
+
+---
+
+> #### hoodie.cleaner.parallelism
+> Parallelism for the cleaning operation. Increase this if cleaning becomes slow.<br></br>
+> **Default Value**: 200 (Optional)<br></br>
+> `Config Param: CLEANER_PARALLELISM_VALUE`<br></br>
+
+---
+
+> #### hoodie.record.size.estimation.threshold
+> We use the previous commits' metadata to calculate the estimated record size and use it to bin pack records into partitions. If the previous commit is too small to make an accurate estimation, Hudi will search commits in the reverse order, until we find a commit that has totalBytesWritten larger than (PARQUET_SMALL_FILE_LIMIT_BYTES * this_threshold)<br></br>
+> **Default Value**: 1.0 (Optional)<br></br>
+> `Config Param: RECORD_SIZE_ESTIMATION_THRESHOLD`<br></br>

+> `Config Param: INLINE_COMPACT_TRIGGER_STRATEGY`<br></br>
+
+---
+
+> #### hoodie.keep.max.commits
+> Archiving service moves older entries from timeline into an archived log after each write, to keep the metadata overhead constant, even as the table size grows.This config controls the maximum number of instants to retain in the active timeline. <br></br>
+> **Default Value**: 30 (Optional)<br></br>
+> `Config Param: MAX_COMMITS_TO_KEEP`<br></br>
+
+---
+
+> #### hoodie.copyonwrite.insert.split.size
+> Number of inserts assigned for each partition/bucket for writing. We based the default on writing out 100MB files, with at least 1kb records (100K records per file), and over provision to 500K. As long as auto-tuning of splits is turned on, this only affects the first write, where there is no history to learn record sizes from.<br></br>
+> **Default Value**: 500000 (Optional)<br></br>
+> `Config Param: COPY_ON_WRITE_INSERT_SPLIT_SIZE`<br></br>
+
+---
+
+### File System View Storage Configurations {#File-System-View-Storage-Configurations}
+
+Configurations that control how file metadata is stored by Hudi, for transaction processing and queries.
+
+`Config Class`: org.apache.hudi.common.table.view.FileSystemViewStorageConfig<br></br>
+
+> #### hoodie.filesystem.view.type
+> File system view provides APIs for viewing the files on the underlying lake storage, as file groups and file slices. This config controls how such a view is held. Options include MEMORY,SPILLABLE_DISK,EMBEDDED_KV_STORE,REMOTE_ONLY,REMOTE_FIRST which provide different trade offs for memory usage and API request performance.<br></br>
+> **Default Value**: MEMORY (Optional)<br></br>
+> `Config Param: VIEW_TYPE`<br></br>
+
+---
+
+> #### hoodie.filesystem.view.secondary.type
+> Specifies the secondary form of storage for file system view, if the primary (e.g timeline server) is unavailable.<br></br>
+> **Default Value**: MEMORY (Optional)<br></br>
+> `Config Param: SECONDARY_VIEW_TYPE`<br></br>
+
+---
+
+### Index Configs
+
+Configurations that control indexing behavior, which tags incoming records as either inserts or updates to older records.
+
+`Config Class`: org.apache.hudi.config.HoodieIndexConfig<br></br>
+
+> #### hoodie.index.type
+> Type of index to use. Default is Bloom filter. Possible options are [BLOOM | GLOBAL_BLOOM |SIMPLE | GLOBAL_SIMPLE | INMEMORY | HBASE | BUCKET]. Bloom filters removes the dependency on a external system and is stored in the footer of the Parquet Data Files<br></br>
+> **Default Value**: N/A (Required)<br></br>
+> `Config Param: INDEX_TYPE`<br></br>
+
+---
+
+> #### hoodie.index.bloom.fpp
+> Only applies if index type is BLOOM. Error rate allowed given the number of entries. This is used to calculate how many bits should be assigned for the bloom filter and the number of hash functions. This is usually set very low (default: 0.000000001), we like to tradeoff disk space for lower false positives. If the number of entries added to bloom filter exceeds the configured value (hoodie.index.bloom.num_entries), then this fpp may not be honored.<br></br>
+> **Default Value**: 0.000000001 (Optional)<br></br>
+> `Config Param: BLOOM_FILTER_FPP_VALUE`<br></br>
+
+---
+
+> #### hoodie.index.bloom.num_entries
+> Only applies if index type is BLOOM. This is the number of entries to be stored in the bloom filter. The rationale for the default: Assume the maxParquetFileSize is 128MB and averageRecordSize is 1kb and hence we approx a total of 130K records in a file. The default (60000) is roughly half of this approximation. Warning: Setting this very low, will generate a lot of false positives and index lookup will have to scan a lot more files than it has to and setting this to a very high number [...]
+> **Default Value**: 60000 (Optional)<br></br>
+> `Config Param: BLOOM_FILTER_NUM_ENTRIES_VALUE`<br></br>
+
+---
+
+> #### hoodie.bloom.index.update.partition.path
+> Only applies if index type is GLOBAL_BLOOM. When set to true, an update including the partition path of a record that already exists will result in inserting the incoming record into the new partition and deleting the original record in the old partition. When set to false, the original record will only be updated in the old partition<br></br>
+> **Default Value**: true (Optional)<br></br>
+> `Config Param: BLOOM_INDEX_UPDATE_PARTITION_PATH_ENABLE`<br></br>
+
+---

+> Only applies if index type is BLOOM. When true, the input RDD will cached to speed up index lookup by reducing IO for computing parallelism or affected partitions<br></br>
+> **Default Value**: true (Optional)<br></br>
+> `Config Param: BLOOM_INDEX_USE_CACHING`<br></br>
+
+---
+
+> #### hoodie.bloom.index.parallelism
+> Only applies if index type is BLOOM. This is the amount of parallelism for index lookup, which involves a shuffle. By default, this is auto computed based on input workload characteristics.<br></br>
+> **Default Value**: 0 (Optional)<br></br>
+> `Config Param: BLOOM_INDEX_PARALLELISM`<br></br>
+
+---
+
+> #### hoodie.bloom.index.prune.by.ranges
+> Only applies if index type is BLOOM. When true, range information from files to leveraged speed up index lookups. Particularly helpful, if the key has a monotonously increasing prefix, such as timestamp. If the record key is completely random, it is better to turn this off, since range pruning will only add extra overhead to the index lookup.<br></br>
+> **Default Value**: true (Optional)<br></br>
+> `Config Param: BLOOM_INDEX_PRUNE_BY_RANGES`<br></br>
+
+---
+
+> #### hoodie.bloom.index.filter.type
+> Filter type used. Default is BloomFilterTypeCode.DYNAMIC_V0. Available values are [BloomFilterTypeCode.SIMPLE , BloomFilterTypeCode.DYNAMIC_V0]. Dynamic bloom filters auto size themselves based on number of keys.<br></br>
+> **Default Value**: DYNAMIC_V0 (Optional)<br></br>
+> `Config Param: BLOOM_FILTER_TYPE`<br></br>
+
+---
+
+> #### hoodie.simple.index.parallelism
+> Only applies if index type is SIMPLE. This is the amount of parallelism for index lookup, which involves a Spark Shuffle<br></br>
+> **Default Value**: 50 (Optional)<br></br>
+> `Config Param: SIMPLE_INDEX_PARALLELISM`<br></br>
+
+---
+
+> #### hoodie.simple.index.use.caching
+> Only applies if index type is SIMPLE. When true, the incoming writes will cached to speed up index lookup by reducing IO for computing parallelism or affected partitions<br></br>
+> **Default Value**: true (Optional)<br></br>
+> `Config Param: SIMPLE_INDEX_USE_CACHING`<br></br>
+
+---
+
+> #### hoodie.global.simple.index.parallelism
+> Only applies if index type is GLOBAL_SIMPLE. This is the amount of parallelism for index lookup, which involves a Spark Shuffle<br></br>
+> **Default Value**: 100 (Optional)<br></br>
+> `Config Param: GLOBAL_SIMPLE_INDEX_PARALLELISM`<br></br>
+
+---
+
+> #### hoodie.simple.index.update.partition.path
+> Similar to Key: 'hoodie.bloom.index.update.partition.path' , default: true but for simple index. Since version: 0.6.0<br></br>
+> **Default Value**: true (Optional)<br></br>
+> `Config Param: SIMPLE_INDEX_UPDATE_PARTITION_PATH_ENABLE`<br></br>
+
+---
+
+### Common Configurations {#Common-Configurations}
+
+The following set of configurations are common across Hudi.
+
+`Config Class`: org.apache.hudi.common.config.HoodieCommonConfig<br></br>
+
+> #### hoodie.common.spillable.diskmap.type
+> When handling input data that cannot be held in memory, to merge with a file on storage, a spillable diskmap is employed. By default, we use a persistent hashmap based loosely on bitcask, that offers O(1) inserts, lookups. Change this to `ROCKS_DB` to prefer using rocksDB, for handling the spill.<br></br>
+> **Default Value**: BITCASK (Optional)<br></br>
+> `Config Param: SPILLABLE_DISK_MAP_TYPE`<br></br>
+
+---
+
+## Metrics Configs {#METRICS}
+These set of configs are used to enable monitoring and reporting of key Hudi stats and metrics.
+
+### Metrics Configurations for Datadog reporter {#Metrics-Configurations-for-Datadog-reporter}
+
+Enables reporting on Hudi metrics using the Datadog reporter type. Hudi publishes metrics on every commit, clean, rollback etc.
+
+`Config Class`: org.apache.hudi.config.metrics.HoodieMetricsDatadogConfig<br></br>
+
+> #### hoodie.metrics.on
+> Turn on/off metrics reporting. off by default.<br></br>
+> **Default Value**: false (Optional)<br></br>
+> `Config Param: TURN_METRICS_ON`<br></br>

+> #### hoodie.metrics.reporter.class
+> <br></br>
+> **Default Value**: (Optional)<br></br>
+> `Config Param: METRICS_REPORTER_CLASS_NAME`<br></br>
+> `Since Version: 0.6.0`<br></br>
+
+---
+
+## Record Payload Config {#RECORD_PAYLOAD}
+This is the lowest level of customization offered by Hudi. Record payloads define how to produce new values to upsert based on incoming new record and stored old record. Hudi provides default implementations such as OverwriteWithLatestAvroPayload which simply update table with the latest/last-written record. This can be overridden to a custom class extending HoodieRecordPayload class, on both datasource and WriteClient levels.
+
+### Payload Configurations {#Payload-Configurations}
+
+Payload related configs, that can be leveraged to control merges based on specific business fields in the data.
+
+`Config Class`: org.apache.hudi.config.HoodiePayloadConfig<br></br>
+> #### hoodie.payload.event.time.field
+> Table column/field name to derive timestamp associated with the records. This can be useful for e.g, determining the freshness of the table.<br></br>
+> **Default Value**: ts (Optional)<br></br>
+> `Config Param: EVENT_TIME_FIELD`<br></br>
+
+---
+
+> #### hoodie.payload.ordering.field
+> Table column/field name to order records that have the same key, before merging and writing to storage.<br></br>
+> **Default Value**: ts (Optional)<br></br>
+> `Config Param: ORDERING_FIELD`<br></br>
