Matteo Bertozzi commented on HBASE-8963:
----------------------------------------
I don't think is a drop table argument, since the compaction will archive stuff
anyway.
I like the global level property to have a general settings, but we should also
have a table level option
something like create 'testtb' {SKIP_ARCHIVE = true} that will work on both
compaction + delete
> Add configuration option to skip HFile archiving

> Currently HFileArchiver is always called when a table is dropped.
> A configuration option (either global or per table) should be provided so
> that archiving can be skipped when table is deleted.
