Enis Soztutar commented on HBASE-8963:
--------------------------------------
I don't imagine anyone wanting to run with skip archive as a global config on
production. I think we should not do the global config at all, but allow drop
table to have an option to skip. Doesn't snapshots refer to files in the
archive? If we do SKIP_ARCHIVE as a table property, the previous snapshots will
be broken with compactions I guess.
I think we should do a "rm -rf" kind of think in drop table. If the files are
not referred, they are not moved to archive, but deleted instead.

> 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.
