Vertica删除历史分区数据

假设test用户下创建的t_jingyu表
vsql -Utest -wtestpwd
create table t_jingyu(
col1 int ,
col2 varchar ,
col3 timestamp not null )
PARTITION BY (date_part( 'doy' , t_jingyu.col3));

需求：删除doy分区表t_jingyu的历史分区数据(8月份)

$vi /tmp/jingyu/del_part08_01-31.sql

数据库表有入库时，drop历史分区会有锁等待，如下：

dbadmin=> SELECT DROP_PARTITION('test.t_jingyu', EXTRACT('doy' FROM '2014-08-04'::date)); 
 ERROR 5157:  Unavailable: [Txn 0xa000000005fb08] O lock table - timeout error Timed out O locking Table:test.t_jingyu. I held by [user dbadmin (copy test.t_jingyu(col1,col2,col3)

dbadmin=>   
同时关注数据库的队列，发现同时有drop_partition和copy入库。
dbadmin=> select substr(current_statement, 1, 200), count(1) 
dbadmin-> from sessions 
dbadmin-> where not current_statement is null and (transaction_id, statement_id)<>(current_trans_id(), current_statement())

                                                                                                  substr                                                                                                  | count

 SELECT DROP_PARTITION('test.t_jingyu', EXTRACT('doy' FROM '2014-08-04'::date));                                                                                                                |     1
 copy test.t_jingyu(col1,col2,col3) f |     1
(3 rows)

在没有copy入库时，drop_partition 大概20s内就可以删除一个历史分区（50亿左右数据量）。
