Perform Nessie Maintenance

This topic provides usage information for the dremio-admin nessie-maintenance CLI command.

note

Automatic Nessie maintenance and the manual CLI command are available in Dremio 21.4.0+ and 22.1.1+. Because Nessie maintenance is performed automatically, it is not likely that you will need to run the CLI command unless advised by Dremio Support. You can change the automatic maintenance interval with the nessie.kvversionstore.maintenance.period_minutes Support Key.

Requirements

• Perform a backup before running the command (see Backup for more information).

• Shut down all cluster nodes completely before running the command (see Startup/Shutdown for more information).
