------------------------------------
Summary: Pluggable Compaction policies
Key: HBASE-6428
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-6428
Project: HBase
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Lars Hofhansl
For some usecases is useful to allow more control over how KVs get compacted.
For example one could envision storing old versions of a KV separate HFiles,
which then rarely have to be touched/cached by queries querying for new data.
In addition these date ranged HFile can be easily used for backups while
maintaining historical data.
This would be a major change, allowing compactions to provide multiple targets
(not just a filter).
