> Components: replication, wal
> Reporter: Jimmy Xiang

> Currently, memstore flusher always chooses the biggest memstore region to
> flush.
> Suppose I have two tables: one is very actively updated, while the other is
> periodically updated. The active one has biggest memstore all the time and is
> flushed all the time. But the in-active one never gets a chance to flush.
> Since it is not flushed, the hlog file can't be archived, although there are
> lots of hlog files.
> If the active table happens to have big updates all the time, the hlog files
> could cause huge disk space pressure.
> Other than the memstore size, periodically flushing regions based on hlog
> roll time is helpful in hlog archiving/replication.
