Jingcheng Du commented on HBASE-11646:
--------------------------------------
[~jmhsieh] Thanks Jon for the descriptions.
for the case#1, if a threshold is set larger, do we need to save the mob data
back to the HBase? Or just leave them in the mob files?
> Handle the MOB in compaction

> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: Compaction
> Reporter: Jingcheng Du

> In the updated MOB design however, admins can set CF level thresholds that
> would force cell values > the threshold to use the MOB write path instead of
> the traditional path. There are two cases where mobs need to interact with
> this threshold
> 1) How do we handle the case when the threshold size is changed?
> 2) Today, you can bulkload hfiles that contain MOBs. These cells will work
> as normal inside hbase. Unfortunately the cells with MOBs in them will never
> benefit form the MOB write path.
> The proposal here is to modify compaction in mob enabled cf's such that the
> threshold value is honored with compactions. This handles case #1 --
> elements that should be moved out of the normal hfiles get 'compacted' into
> refs and mob hfiles, and values that should be pulled into the cf get derefed
> and written out wholy in the compaction. For case #2, we can maintain the
> same behavior and compaction would move data into the mob writepath/lifecycle.
