[geomesa-users] Accumulo Durability

[Jose Bujalance <joseab56@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I am having some problems with my HDFS free disk space, and I think it can be related to the Accumulo durability and the WAL (Write-ahead Log).

When I ingest or delete any feature or catalog in Geomesa, my free disk start decreasing until the disk is full at 100%. I don't fully understand how Acumulo's durability works, but I think this might be because the first time I tried to delete my Geomesa catalog, the deletion didn't fullt suceed because I had a RAM problem, and then I started ingesting new features with the same catalog name, so Accumulo seem to interpret this as an update and starts generating logs in the WAL.

In order to regain some disk space, I would like to clean the WAL logs in the HDFS, and also set the Accumulo's durability to "none" (https://accumulo.apache.org/1.7/accumulo_user_manual#_durability)

However, I don't know what are the consequences of deleting the HDFS folder /apps/accumulo/data/wal, and I haven't found the way to change the durability default.

Has anyone done this before?

Thanks, 

José
