Sean Busbey commented on HBASE-12324:
-------------------------------------
Relying on the file timestamp seems problematic.
Do you have a specific concern with adding the optional trailer item about cell
timestamps present? It would allow us to generalize that part of the
optimization to other policies.
> Improve compaction speed and process for immutable short lived datasets

> Key: HBASE-12324
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-12324
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Compaction
> Affects Versions: 0.98.0, 0.96.0
> Reporter: Sheetal Dolas
> Attachments: OnlyDeleteExpiredFilesCompactionPolicy.java
>
>
> We have seen multiple cases where HBase is used to store immutable data and
> the data lives for short period of time (few days)
> On very high volume systems, major compactions become very costly and
> slowdown ingestion rates.
> In all such use cases (immutable data, high write rate and moderate read
> rates and shorter ttl), avoiding any compactions and just deleting old data
> brings lot of performance benefits.
> We should have a compaction policy that can only delete/archive files older
> than TTL and not compact any files.
> Also attaching a patch that can do so.
