Clara Xiong commented on HBASE-15454: ------------------------------------- And yes, if you want to align the archive window by calendar boundaries, please do so by implementing a calendar based window so that minor/major compaction and archiving all follow the same calendar based boundaries, instead of slicing/concatenating the data in 2 ways in 2 concurrent routines. That is why I said a user should only need one type of window/layout. The maxAge config is orthogonal to the window boundaries. > Archive store files older than max age > -------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-15454 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-15454 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: Compaction > Affects Versions: 2.0.0, 1.3.0, 0.98.18, 1.4.0 > Reporter: Duo Zhang > Assignee: Duo Zhang > Fix For: 2.0.0, 1.3.0, 0.98.19, 1.4.0 > > Attachments: HBASE-15454-v1.patch, HBASE-15454.patch > > > Sometimes the old data is rarely touched but we can not remove it.
