> Avoid major compactions on region server startup
> ------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HBASE-17912
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-17912
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Compaction
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0, 1.3.1, 0.98.24
> Reporter: Geoffrey Jacoby
> Assignee: Geoffrey Jacoby

>
> The HRegionServer.CompactionChecker chore wakes up every 10s and for each
> store in each region mods against a chore frequency (by default slightly
> under 3 hours) to see if it's time to check if a major compaction is
> necessary for that store.
> The check to see if it needs to check for major compactions is calculated by
> if (iteration % multiplier != 0) continue;
> where iteration is the number of times the chore has woken up.
> Because 0 % anything is 0, this will always check for necessary major
> compactions on each store when this chore is first run after the region
> server starts up. This can result in compaction storms when doing a rolling
> restart, because, for example, the new instance of the region server might
> get a lower jitter value than the old one had.
