Hi guys,

i would like to clarify the following regarding Major Compaction

1) When TTL is set for a column family and major compaction is triggered by
user

- Does it act on the region only when *time since last major compaction is
> TTL.*
*
*

2) Does major compaction go through the index of a region to find out that
there is data to be acted upon and then start the rewriting  ( or ) does it
rewrite without any pre checks about the data  inside the region ?

3) If major compaction for a region results in a empty region , does the
empty region get deleted or left as such ?

Regards,
R.Monish
