Hi groups，
I am not sure if I am writing to the right group. If not, do not hesitate to forward my question below to the right email group if you know. My question is : Will the TTL expired files be deleted during minor compact or major compact? I am puzzled by two statements In the Apache HBase ™ Reference Guide(http://hbase.apache.org/book.html) . The first one is : 39. Time To Live (TTL) ColumnFamilies can set a TTL length in seconds, and HBase will automatically delete rows once the expiration time is reached. This applies to all versions of a row - even the current one. The TTL time encoded in the HBase for the row is specified in UTC. Store files which contains only expired rows are deleted on minor compaction. The second is; 70.7.7. Compaction ..... Minor compactions usually select a small number of small, adjacent StoreFiles and rewrite them as a single StoreFile. Minor compactions do not drop (filter out) deletes or expired versions, because of potential side effects. Do these two statements in red-colored have conflict? Both "expired" in these two statements refer to the TTL expired ,am I right? Very appreciate if you could help to make some explanation about it. I am looking forward to your reply. Thanks and Best Regards.
