Vincent, These calls (along with flush and split) are async and we do not explicitly keep track of them (currently). If you use 0.20.3, you can have the "fragmentation" metric which will lower down to zero on that table when the major compaction is done (unless data keeps coming in).
Splits won't happen on that call unless you had some flushes recently which were not compacted. Hope that helps, J-D On Mon, Feb 8, 2010 at 8:23 AM, Vincent Barat <[email protected]>wrote: > Hello, > > I'm trying to apply major_compact on some of my tables to enable GZ > compression on the fly. > > when I do: > > $ major_compact 'table" > > I don't see any info and I know how to follow the progress of the > compaction.
