Great point and careful advice.. So good on you Yu Li.

> 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.
