Jean-Daniel Cryans commented on HBASE-1947:
-------------------------------------------

Ryan reviewed this patch and wants me to clear the compaction message. I will 
commit the same patch but with:

{code}
-        // Startup a compaction early if one is needed, if region has 
references.
-        if (region.hasReferences()) {
+        // Startup a compaction early if one is needed, if region has 
references
+        // or it a store has too many store files
+        if (region.hasReferences() || region.hasTooManyStoreFiles()) {
           this.compactSplitThread.compactionRequested(region,
-            "Region has references on open");
+            region.hasReferences() ? "Region has references on open" :
+                                     "Region has too many store files");
{code}

> If HBase starts/stops often in less than 24 hours, you end up with lots of 
> store files

> Since we don't compact on open and close of regions, all regions that have 
> edits will do a flush when the cluster is stopped so that if you do it a 
> couple of times in a row it's easy to get more than 10 store files and it 
> won't be compacted until the next day. On open, we should check that number 
> and compact if needed.
