>
> In the new compaction algorithm, there is a minCompactSize parameter which is
> used to include files in selection if they are under this size.
> Currently this is:
> {noformat}
> this.minCompactSize = this.region.memstoreFlushSize * 3 / 2; // +50% pad
> {noformat}
> In a cluster, we had high setting of flush size but were doing frequent small
> flushes because of HLog eviction. This led to pathological cases in
> compaction file selection that this algorithm is trying to avoid in the first
> place.
> Should make this configurable but the existing value should be fine for
> default in most applications.
