Improve Background Task Scheduling for Dropped Atomic Table Data Cleanup
Improve scheduling of background task which removes data of dropped tables inAtomicdatabases.Atomicdatabases do not create broken symlink to table data directory if table actually has no data directory. #16584 (tavplubix).
Why it matters
This feature resolves an issue whereAtomic databases could create broken symbolic links to table data directories if a dropped table had no actual data directory. By improving the scheduling of the cleanup tasks, it ensures a cleaner and more reliable filesystem state, reducing potential confusion and errors related to leftover symlinks.How to use it
This improvement is applied automatically inAtomic databases when background tasks run to remove dropped table data. No explicit user action is needed to enable this feature.
