Introduction to configuration item modification

Method to modify

• Use sql statement to modify [recommended]
• Directly modify the configuration file [not recommended]

Effective method

• Cannot be modified after the first startup. (first_start)
• Take effect after restart (restart)
• hot load (hot_reload)

Modify configuration files directly

It can take effect by restarting or following the command

Hot reload configuration command

Make changes to configuration items that support hot reloading take effect immediately.
For configuration items that have been modified in the configuration file, deleting or commenting them from the configuration file and then performing load configuration will restore the default values.

load configuration

SetConfiguration statement

set configuration "key1"="value1" "key2"="value2"... (on nodeId)

Example 1

set configuration "enable_cross_space_compaction"="false"

To take effect permanently on all nodes in the cluster, set enable_cross_space_compaction to false and write it to iotdb-system.properties.

Example 2

set configuration "enable_cross_space_compaction"="false" "enable_seq_space_compaction"="false" on 1

To take effect permanently on the node with nodeId 1, set enable_cross_space_compaction to false, set enable_seq_space_compaction to false, and write it to iotdb-system.properties.

Example 3

set configuration "enable_cross_space_compaction"="false" "timestamp_precision"="ns"

To take effect permanently on all nodes in the cluster, set enable_cross_space_compaction to false, timestamp_precision to ns, and write it to iotdb-system.properties. However, timestamp_precision is a configuration item that cannot be modified after the first startup, so the update of this configuration item will be ignored and the return is as follows.

Msg: org.apache.iotdb.jdbc.IoTDBSQLException: 301: ignored config items: [timestamp_precision]

Effective configuration item
Configuration items that support hot reloading and take effect immediately are marked with effectiveMode as hot_reload in the iotdb-system.properties.template file.

Example

# Used for indicate cluster name and distinguish different cluster.
# If you need to modify the cluster name, it's recommended to use 'set configuration "cluster_name=xxx"' sql.
# Manually modifying configuration file is not recommended, which may cause node restart fail.
# effectiveMode: hot_reload
# Datatype: string
cluster_name=defaultCluster
