stack commented on HADOOP-2615:
-------------------------------

Here's the next two compactions:
{code}
2008-01-25 01:58:30,280 INFO org.apache.hadoop.hbase.HRegion: compaction 
completed on region TestTable,,1201223677355. Took 20mins, 34sec
2008-01-25 02:17:28,818 INFO org.apache.hadoop.hbase.HRegion: compaction 
completed on region TestTable,,1201223677355. Took 18mins, 58sec
{code}

The split final runs, 15 minutes after the loading finishes and an hour after 
its initially scheduled.  Split is frozen out waiting here in HRegion:

{code}
        while (writestate.compacting || writestate.flushing) {
          LOG.debug("waiting for" +
              (writestate.compacting ? " compaction" : "") +
              (writestate.flushing ?
                  (writestate.compacting ? "," : "") + " cache flush" :
                    ""
              ) + " to complete for region " + regionName
          );
          try {
            writestate.wait();
          } catch (InterruptedException iex) {
            // continue
          }
        }
{code}

> Currently we do compaction on a region when the 
> hbase.hstore.compactionThreshold is reached - default 3
> I thank we should configure a max number of mapfiles to compact at one time 
> simulator to doing a minor compaction in bigtable. This keep compaction's 
> form getting tied up in one region to long letting other regions get way to 
> many memcache flushes making compaction take longer and longer for each region
> If we did that when a regions updates start to slack off the max number will 
> eventuly include all mapfiles causeing a major compaction on that region. 
> Unlike big table this would leave the master out of the process and letting 
> the region server handle the major compaction when it has time.
> When doing a minor compaction on a few files I thank we should compact the 
> newest mapfiles first leave the larger/older ones for when we have low 
> updates to a region.
