Documentation

Definition

The block size determines how large the blocks are that are used to optimize an index during filling on the HPA engine. In order to ensure that the memory consumption on the HPA engine does not get too large during optimization of a new index, the index should be optimized at regular intervals. These intervals can be determined by the blocks.

The blocks are formed by the selection of a field in the table or the index. If there is an irregular or unfavorable distribution of the data, blocks can become significantly larger or smaller as selected in the BLOCKSIZE parameter. If problems arise due to this (memory bottlenecks), change the block size.

The value to be selected depends on the size of your HPA server. It should be between 1,000,000 and 5,000,000.
