Table-Level Configuration

Table-level settings override catalog defaults for a specific table. This is useful when a table has different compaction requirements — for example, a high-volume streaming table may need more aggressive compaction than the catalog default.

  1. Go to Governance > Data Catalog from the side panel.
  2. Find and open the table details page:
    • Data Catalog tab: Search for the table by name and click it.
    • Data Explorer tab: Navigate through Catalog > Database > Table.
  3. Click the Maintenance tab. The tab opens directly to the run history, with a banner at the top indicating whether maintenance is currently Enabled or Disabled for the table.

  1. Click Configure in the banner to open the Configure Maintenance drawer.
  2. Use the Enable maintenance toggle at the top of the drawer to enable or disable maintenance for this table.
  3. For each of the four operations, pick one of three states from the dropdown:
    • Inherit: uses the catalog-level setting. The card shows the inherited state, for example "Enabled (Inherited from Catalog)".
    • Enabled: explicitly enables this operation for this table, regardless of the catalog setting.
    • Disabled: explicitly disables this operation for this table.
  4. To configure operation-specific thresholds, expand Advanced Settings on any operation card and add the properties you want to override. See Advanced Configuration for all available options.
  5. Click Save Changes to save. Click Reset to discard unsaved changes.

Table Maintenance Defaults
  • Tables are disabled for maintenance by default. You must explicitly enable each one (V1 rollout safeguard).
  • Table maintenance can't be enabled while catalog-level maintenance is disabled.
