@Dhruba We need this too. How would we do it?

> The number of iops on the disk and the top of the rack bandwidth utilization
> at off peak hours is much lower than at peak hours depending on the
> application usage pattern. We can utilize this knowledge to improve the
> performance of the HBase cluster by increasing the compact selection ratio to
> a much larger value during off-peak hours than otherwise - increasing
> hbase.hstore.compaction.ratio (1.2 default) to
> hbase.hstore.compaction.ratio.offpeak (5 default). This will help reduce the
> average number of files per store.
