Nicolas Spiegelberg commented on HBASE-5461: -------------------------------------------- bq. I wonder if a good default would be some fraction of the flushsize. Maybe 1/4*flushsize, or something. Note that we raised the min size so that we'd aggressively compact the .META. table, which is normally pretty small. > Set hbase.hstore.compaction.min.size way down to 4MB > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-5461 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5461 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Task > Affects Versions: 0.92.1 > Reporter: stack > Priority: Critical > > See discussion over in HBASE-3149.
