 | carbon.use.multiple.temp.dir | false | When multiple disks are present in the system, YARN is generally configured with multiple disks to be used as temp directories for managing the containers. This configuration specifies whether to use multiple YARN local directories during data loading for disk IO load balancing.Enable ***carbon.use.local.dir*** for this configuration to take effect. **NOTE:** Data Loading is an IO intensive operation whose performance can be limited by the disk IO threshold, particularly during multi table concurrent data load.Configuring this parameter, balances the disk IO across multiple disks there by improving the over all load performance. |
 | carbon.sort.temp.compressor | (none) | CarbonData writes every ***carbon.sort.size*** number of records to intermediate temp files during data loading to ensure memory footprint is within limits. These temporary files can be compressed and written in order to save the storage space. This configuration specifies the name of compressor to be used to compress the intermediate sort temp files during sort procedure in data loading. The valid values are 'SNAPPY','GZIP','BZIP2','LZ4','ZSTD' and empty. By default, empty means that Carbondata will not compress the sort temp files. **NOTE:** Compressor will be useful if you encounter disk bottleneck.Since the data needs to be compressed and decompressed,it involves additional CPU cycles,but is compensated by the high IO throughput due to less data to be written or read from the disks. |
 | carbon.load.skewedDataOptimization.enabled | false | During data loading,CarbonData would divide the number of blocks equally so as to ensure all executors process same number of blocks. This mechanism satisfies most of the scenarios and ensures maximum parallel processing for optimal data loading performance.In some business scenarios, there might be scenarios where the size of blocks vary significantly and hence some executors would have to do more work if they get blocks containing more data. This configuration enables size based block allocation strategy for data loading. When loading, carbondata will use file size based block allocation strategy for task distribution. It will make sure that all the executors process the same size of data.**NOTE:** This configuration is useful if the size of your input data files varies widely, say 1MB to 1GB.For this configuration to work effectively,knowing the data pattern and size is important and necessary. |
-| carbon.load.min.size.enabled | false | During Data Loading, CarbonData would divide the number of files among the available executors to parallelize the loading operation. When the input data files are very small, this action causes to generate many small carbondata files. This configuration determines whether to enable node minumun input data size allocation strategy for data loading.It will make sure that the node load the minimum amount of data there by reducing number of carbondata files.**NOTE:** This configuration is useful if the size of the input data files are very small, like 1MB to 256MB.Refer to ***load_min_size_inmb*** to configure the minimum size to be considered for splitting files among executors. |

 | enable.data.loading.statistics | false | CarbonData has extensive logging which would be useful for debugging issues related to performance or hard to locate issues. This configuration when made ***true*** would log additional data loading statistics information to more accurately locate the issues being debugged. **NOTE:** Enabling this would log more debug information to log files, there by increasing the log files size significantly in short span of time.It is advised to configure the log files size, retention of log files parameters in log4j properties appropriately. Also extensive logging is an increased IO operation and hence over all data loading performance might get reduced. Therefore it is recommended to enable this configuration only for the duration of debugging. |
 | carbon.dictionary.chunk.size | 10000 | CarbonData generates dictionary keys and writes them to separate dictionary file during data loading. To optimize the IO, this configuration determines the number of dictionary keys to be persisted to dictionary file at a time. **NOTE:** Writing to file also serves as a commit point to the dictionary generated.Increasing more values in memory causes more data loss during system or application failure.It is advised to alter this configuration judiciously. |
 | dictionary.worker.threads | 1 | CarbonData supports Optimized data loading by relying on a dictionary server. Dictionary server helps to maintain dictionary values independent of the data loading and there by avoids reading the same input data multiples times. This configuration determines the number of concurrent dictionary generation or request that needs to be served by the dictionary server. **NOTE:** This configuration takes effect when ***carbon.options.single.pass*** is configured as true.Please refer to *carbon.options.single.pass*to understand how dictionary server optimizes data loading. |
