Eugene Koifman commented on HIVE-11994:
---------------------------------------

This comment is wrong.  SHOW COMPACTIONS does show history so this ticket is about adding meta info.

> Currently output of SHOW COMPACTIONS only has current information.
> it would very useful if it could retain the data for a configurable period of time after the Cleaner handles the entry.  Perhaps the entry can go into 'h' state for 'historical'.
> Such historical data can be used to drive alert generating logic.
> We can add a column with a JSON doc which can include various stats about the job: number of delta files, size in MB, time taken.  Also can be useful to collect job properties from Hadoop, such as RAM used for example.  
> All of this can enhance the type/quality of alerts.
