Lars Hofhansl commented on HBASE-12859:
---------------------------------------
The other option is to do what HBaseAdmin.getCompactionState() does. In that
case we'd fold the last compaction TS into the regionInfo PB message. That
requires the admin to contact every involved region server, but we're already
doing that for various other tasks. It's easy to have both (cluster status and
region info) so maybe that'd be best for flexibility.

> In various scenarios it is helpful to know a guaranteed timestamp up to which
> all data in a table was major compacted.
> We can do that keeping a major compaction timestamp in META.
> A client then can iterate all region of a table and find a definite
> timestamp, which is the oldest compaction timestamp of any of the regions.
