> h2. FIFO Compaction
> h3. Introduction
> FIFO compaction policy selects only files which have all cells expired. The
> column family MUST have non-default TTL.
> Essentially, FIFO compactor does only one job: collects expired store files.
> These are some applications which could benefit the most:
> # Use it for very high volume raw data which has low TTL and which is the
> source of another data (after additional processing). Example: Raw
> time-series vs. time-based rollup aggregates and compacted time-series. We
> collect raw time-series and store them into CF with FIFO compaction policy,
> periodically we run task which creates rollup aggregates and compacts
> time-series, the original raw data can be discarded after that.
> # Use it for data which can be kept entirely in a a block cache (RAM/SSD).
> Say we have local SSD (1TB) which we can use as a block cache. No need for
> compaction of a raw data at all.
> Because we do not do any real compaction, we do not use CPU and IO (disk and
> network), we do not evict hot data from a block cache. The result: improved
> throughput and latency both write and read.
> See: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/wiki/FIFO-compaction-style
> h3. To enable FIFO compaction policy
> For table:
> {code}
> HTableDescriptor desc = new HTableDescriptor(tableName);
>
> desc.setConfiguration(DefaultStoreEngine.DEFAULT_COMPACTION_POLICY_CLASS_KEY,
> FIFOCompactionPolicy.class.getName());
> {code}
> For CF:
> {code}
> HColumnDescriptor desc = new HColumnDescriptor(family);
>
> desc.setConfiguration(DefaultStoreEngine.DEFAULT_COMPACTION_POLICY_CLASS_KEY,
> FIFOCompactionPolicy.class.getName());
> {code}
> Although region splitting is supported, for optimal performance it should be
> disabled, either by setting explicitly DisabledRegionSplitPolicy or by
> setting ConstantSizeRegionSplitPolicy and very large max region size. You
> will have to increase to a very large number store's blocking file number :
> *hbase.hstore.blockingStoreFiles* as well.
>
> h3. Limitations
> Do not use FIFO compaction if :
> * Table/CF has MIN_VERSION > 0
> * Table/CF has TTL = FOREVER (HColumnDescriptor.DEFAULT_TTL)
