Dmytro Molkov commented on HADOOP-6761:
---------------------------------------
Sure Ravi, what is it that you want me to modify? I can add this new parameter
to the default conf with description. Would that be enough? Or is there an
actual trash documentation that you want me to update?
> Improve Trash Emptier

> There are two inefficiencies in the Trash functionality right now that have
> caused some problems for us.
> First if you configured your trash interval to be one day (24 hours) that
> means that you store 2 days worth of data eventually. The Current and the
> previous timestamp that will not be deleted until the end of the interval.
> And another problem is accumulating a lot of data in Trash before the Emptier
> wakes up. If there are a couple of million files trashed and the Emptier does
> deletion on HDFS the NameNode will freeze until everything is removed. (this
> particular problem hopefully will be addressed with HDFS-1143).
> My proposal is to have two configuration intervals. One for deleting the
> trashed data and another for checkpointing. This way for example for
> intervals of one day and one hour we will only store 25 hours of data instead
> of 48 right now and the deletions will be happening in smaller chunks every
> hour of the day instead of a huge deletion at the end of the day now.
