Andrew Purtell created HBASE-6434:
-------------------------------------
Summary: Document effect of slow compressors on the flush path and
workaround in the online book
Key: HBASE-6434
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-6434
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Task
Reporter: Andrew Purtell
Priority: Minor
In HBASE-6423 Karthik writes
bq. 1. flushing a memstore takes a while (GZIP compression)
[... and the memstore gate comes crashing down]
We once sidestepped this issue by specifying different compression options for
flushes (LZO or none) and major compaction (BZIP2), disabling automatic major
compaction, and managing major compaction from a shell based process that
iterates over each region on disk and makes some application specific decisions.
I go back and forth on whether this is a hack or legitimate HBase ops given how
things currently work.
