Lars Hofhansl commented on HBASE-1521:
--------------------------------------
Is this still relevant? We do treat deletes in minor compactions (we delete any
Cell that is affected by a delete). Delete markers themselves are only removed
during major compactions.
Seems we can close this 5 year old issue.
> Optimize codepath for minor compactions
> ---------------------------------------
>
> Key: HBASE-1521
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-1521
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 0.20.0, 0.90.0
> Reporter: Jonathan Gray
> Assignee: Amitanand Aiyer
>
> There are some additional optimizations in the specialized StoreScanner and
> also in HFile for minor compactions. For example, there is some KV
> disassembling and sanity checking in HFile even though in a minor compaction
> these checks have already been run during the flush.
> Another area to discuss is whether we should actually process deletes during
> minor compactions. It's not especially expensive (ScanDeleteTracker is quite
> simple) but it requires looking at both the row and the qualifier value of
> every single KV. Removing this would drop our axiom that "Deletes only apply
> to later storefiles", which is used during Get processing to have more
> efficient delete handling.
