Reid Chan commented on HBASE-18309: ----------------------------------- bq. Although both needs multiple threads, HFileCleaner separates the threads into two categories for cleaning large/small hfiles and some StealJobQueue trick used there, while I don't think we need the same logic for LogCleaner. I'd suggest a deeper look into the source if you still like to unify the logic. I get your idea, apparently we are in different directions now. You focus on the deletion on files, but my implementation focus on speeding up the logic of deletion under oldWALs/archive. I'd suggest you take a look at the patch. I may misunderstand [~aoxiang]'s original intent, which is to focus on deletion files as {{HFileCleaner}} does. But i'm sure my way will improve efficiency as well.

The number of files under oldWALs reach > the max-directory-items limit of HDFS and cause region server crash, so we > use multi threads for LogCleaner and the crash not happened any more. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
