UNSPLIT AT |
The UNSPLIT AT statement removes a key-value layer range split enforcement at a specified row in the table or index.. |
true |
The UNSPLIT AT
statement removes a split enforcement on a key-value layer range split, at a specified row in a table or index.
Removing a split enforcement from a table or index ("unsplitting") allows CockroachDB to merge ranges as needed, to help improve your cluster's performance. For more information, see Range Merges.
The user must have the INSERT
privilege on the table or index.
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
table_name |
The name of the table that you want to unsplit. |
table_name @ index_name standalone_index_name |
The name of the index that you want to unsplit. |
select_stmt |
A selection query that produces one or more rows at which to unsplit a table or index. |

The crdb_internal.ranges
table contains information about ranges in your CockroachDB cluster. At this point, just one range contains the data in the users
table:
{% include copy-clipboard.html %}
> SELECT * FROM crdb_internal.ranges WHERE table_name='users';
range_id | start_key | start_pretty | end_key | end_pretty | database_name | table_name | index_name | replicas | learner_replicas | split_enforced_until | lease_holder
+----------+-----------+--------------+---------+------------+---------------+------------+------------+----------+------------------+----------------------+--------------+
21 | \275 | /Table/53 | \276 | /Table/54 | movr | users | | {1,2,3} | {} | NULL | 1
(1 row)
Now split the users
table ranges based on primary key values:
{% include copy-clipboard.html %}
> ALTER TABLE users SPLIT AT VALUES ('chicago'), ('new york'), ('seattle');
key | pretty | split_enforced_until
+------------------------------+------------------------+----------------------------------+
\275\211\022chicago\000\001 | /Table/53/1/"chicago" | 2262-04-11 23:47:16.854776+00:00
\275\211\022new york\000\001 | /Table/53/1/"new york" | 2262-04-11 23:47:16.854776+00:00
\275\211\022seattle\000\001 | /Table/53/1/"seattle" | 2262-04-11 23:47:16.854776+00:00
(3 rows)
You can see the additional ranges in the crdb_internal.ranges
table:
{% include copy-clipboard.html %}
> SELECT * FROM crdb_internal.ranges WHERE table_name='users';
range_id | start_key | start_pretty | end_key | end_pretty | database_name | table_name | index_name | replicas | learner_replicas | split_enforced_until | lease_holder

Now unsplit the table to remove the split enforcements:
{% include copy-clipboard.html %}
> ALTER TABLE users UNSPLIT AT VALUES ('chicago'), ('new york'), ('seattle');
key | pretty
+------------------------------+------------------------+
\275\211\022chicago\000\001 | /Table/53/1/"chicago"

(4 rows)
The users
table is still split into ranges at 'chicago'
, 'new york'
, and 'seattle'
, but the split_enforced_until
column is now NULL
for all ranges in the table. The split is no longer enforced, and CockroachDB can merge the data in the table as needed.
Add a new secondary index to the rides
table, on the revenue
column, and then split the table ranges by secondary index values:
{% include copy-clipboard.html %}
> CREATE INDEX revenue_idx ON rides(revenue);
{% include copy-clipboard.html %}
> ALTER INDEX rides@revenue_idx SPLIT AT VALUES (25.00), (50.00), (75.00);
