Kannan Muthukkaruppan commented on HBASE-4463:
----------------------------------------------
Dhruba: Just wanted to point out that one knob that exists today to throttle
the number of concurrent compactions is the size of the compaction thread
pools. We can drop it all the way down to 1 thread. If further throttling is
needed, then it'll require some new scheme.
> Run more aggressive compactions during off peak hours

> 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.
