Abstract
A data processing service uses minor compactions for committing transactions to a data table. The service may receive requests to commit transactions to a data table and write metadata for the transactions to log files, and generate a checkpoint file aggregating the transactions described in the log files to compute a data table state at a first time. The service may receive requests to commit a set of transactions and write metadata for the set of transactions to a set of log files. The service may determine that a number of log files in the set of log files reaches a threshold commit number, generate a minor compaction file aggregating the set of transactions, and generate a second checkpoint file aggregating the data table state at the first time with information from the minor compaction file to compute the data table state at a second time.
