Resolution: Duplicate

> Ensure compactions don't block table deletion
> ---------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ACCUMULO-2119
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-2119
> Project: Accumulo
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 1.5.0
> Reporter: Josh Elser
> Priority: Minor
>
> I was ingesting some data into an Accumulo instance. My TServer's heap was a
> little small -- that, combined with a bug in my code that was writing very
> large keys, caused a minor compaction to take a very long time.
> I ultimately wanted to just delete the table and re-run my code with the bug
> fixed, but, despite the table trying to be deleted, it looked like that table
> operation was blocked until the minc finished. It seems plausible that we
> could interrupt that compaction, delete that in-memory map, and unload the
> tablet so we can delete it.
> It would be nice to interrupt the minor compaction when the table is trying
> to be deleted so we can actually delete the table. I'm not positive if the
> same thing happens with a major compaction, but I would assume so (if you're
> compacting a large tablet, you could also have to wait order of 10's of
> minutes for your deletion to occur).
