Todd Lipcon commented on KUDU-859:
----------------------------------
[~mpercy] would it be straightforward to integrate this with the data GC
maintenance task that you implemented for KUDU-236?
> Actively remove data and deltas for deleted columns

> Key: KUDU-859
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KUDU-859
> Project: Kudu
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: tablet
> Affects Versions: Private Beta
> Reporter: Todd Lipcon
>
> Currently, we only remove data blocks for deleted columns when we run a
> compaction. If a table is already fully compacted, this won't happen at all.
> In most cases, it will happen very slowly.
> We should add some kind of in-the-background operation which removes the
> CFiles corresponding to deleted columns, and modify the delta compaction code
> paths to actually drop delta data for deleted columns.
