keith-turner commented on issue #223: Adds a design document for external compactions URL: https://github.com/apache/accumulo-website/pull/223#issuecomment-592698663 > I was wondering what your thoughts were with this design and merging minor compactions? I would think their benefits would be minimized and removing them would greatly reduce complexity. I had not considered that, but I think removing them may be a good idea. A smart selection algorithm plus multiple compaction queues (like this [proposal](https://gist.github.com/keith-turner/16125790c6ff0d86c67795a08d2c057f)) could remove the need for merging minor compactions. I think one would want compactions for small files to run on an internal queue for responsiveness. Compactions of larger files could run on an external queue.
