Adam Fuchs created ACCUMULO-4697:
------------------------------------
Summary: tablet server could kick off too many idle compactions
Key: ACCUMULO-4697
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-4697
Project: Accumulo
Issue Type: Bug
Components: tserver
Reporter: Adam Fuchs
Priority: Minor
Tablet.initiateMajorCompaction() always returns false, but we check the return
value when accounting for the number of idle major compactions started in
TabletServer.MajorCompactor.run() and continue to kick off idle compactions on
every tablet.
DefaultCompactionStrategy doesn't do anything special for idle compactions, so
this will only be an issue with a custom CompactionStrategy.
My guess would be the best thing to do would be to get rid of idle compactions
and get rid of the return value on initiateMajorCompaction().
