Summary: Guidelines on when / how often to do major compaction, as
well as default settings and how to change
Key: HBASE-11121
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-11121
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Compaction, documentation
Affects Versions: 0.98.2
Reporter: Misty Stanley-Jones
[14:53:10] <jdcryans> I'd say 80% of the time you should just let it happen
naturally
[14:53:26] <jdcryans> the main thing is deciding how often you want to major
compact
[14:53:38] <jdcryans> some people disable it completely because they don't
update/delete
[14:53:58] <jdcryans> others may decide to do it weekly because they don't
update/delete that often
[14:54:18] <jdcryans> and then there's the aggressive default of doing it
every 24h
[14:55:39] <jdcryans> and it looks like the default is now 1 week un trunk
[14:56:09] <jdcryans> same in C5
[14:58:35] <jdcryans> automatic major* compactions
