I want to run some experiments with the major compactions turned off.. There are two parameters that I can see both of which have to be modified to turn major compactions off (am I right here?). hbase.hstore.compactionThreshold and hbase.hregion.majorcompaction...
But the config file's comments say that setting compactionThreshold to a high value may lead to memory issues while compaction (because an entire Hfile will have to be logged).. Another related parameter that I found was: hbase.regionserver.thread.splitcompactcheckfrequency The default value is 20000... Does this mean the check happens once every 20000 seconds? Thank you Vidhya
