AnalyzeRowCountInterval

Specifies how often Vertica checks the number of projection rows and whether the threshold set by ARCCommitPercentage has been crossed.

For more information, see Collecting Database Statistics.

Default: 86400 seconds (24 hours)

Sets the threshold percentage of difference between the last-recorded aggregate projection row count and current row count for a given table. When the difference exceeds this threshold, Vertica updates the catalog with the current row count.

Default: 3 (percent)

Specifies how many ROS containers Vertica creates per projection before ROS pushback occurs.

Default: 1024

MaxAutoSegColumns

Specifies the number of columns (0 –1024) to use in an auto-projection's hash segmentation clause. Set to 0 to use all columns.

Default: 8

MaxAutoSortColumns

Specifies the number of columns (0 –1024) to use in an auto-projection's sort expression. Set to 0 to use all columns.

Default: 8

By default, prior to performing a rebalance, Vertica performs a system table query to compute the size of all projections involved in the rebalance task. This query enables Vertica to optimize the rebalance to most efficiently utilize available disk space. This query can, however, significantly increase the time required to perform the rebalance.

By disabling the system table query, you can reduce the time required to perform the rebalance. If your nodes are low on disk space, disabling the query increases the chance that a node runs out of disk space. In that situation, the rebalance fails.

Default: 1 (enable)

SegmentAutoProjection

Determines whether auto-projections are segmented if the table definition omits a segmentation clause. You can set this parameter at database and session scopes.

Default: 1 (create segmented auto projections)
