I was wondering if someone could tell me what happens if a regionserver fails during major compaction. Are the entries that were in the compaction queue for the failed regionserver migrated along with the regions to another server or are those requests for major compaction effectively lost for that run of major compaction? I guess what I'm really asking is do I still get a full major compaction of all regions or do I lose the major compactions of the regions that were in the queue on the failed regionserver.
Any insight would be much appreciated. We are currently running HBase 0.90.3-cdh3u1.
