Hi,
I want to find out what is the unit for TTL in hbase. I googled around and
found some people say it is microsecond.
and I thought it was millisecond as that is java default. Then I searched
hbase code and saw some test code treating
the unit to be seconds.
I used a TTL=600000. if the unit is millisecond, then that means 10
minute. However, I continue to insert records into
this table, and found that the regions older than 10 minutes are not
removed.
The question I have is , what is the unit for TTL. and the second question
is, how often hbase checks all regions and
remove expired regions.
