--------------------------------------
Thanks [~carp84] for the patch! The patch looks great. I went through the patch
and left couple comments there. Maybe as a followup, can these two threads
share a LinkedBlockingDeque? So large-size file is added to the head of the
queue and small-size files are added to the tail. the large-file-thread poll
from the head and the small-file-thread poll from the end. In this sense, no
thread will be idle when there are works to do. What do you think?
> Separate small/large file delete threads in HFileCleaner to accelerate
> archived hfile cleanup speed

> When using PCIe-SSD the flush speed will be really quick, and although we
> have per CF flush, we still have the
> {{hbase.regionserver.optionalcacheflushinterval}} setting and some other
> mechanism to avoid data kept in memory for too long to flush small hfiles. In
> our online environment we found the single thread cleaner kept cleaning
> earlier flushed small files while large files got no chance, which caused
> disk full then many other problems.
> Deleting hfiles in parallel with too many threads will also increase the
> workload of namenode, so here we propose to separate large/small hfile
> cleaner threads just like we do for compaction, and it turned out to work
> well in our cluster.
