Hi, I want to manually control the number of versions of data physically stored in hbase.
I am aware that physically deleting a record in hbase occurs only in major compaction (link<http://hadoop-hbase.blogspot.com/2011/12/deletion-in-hbase.html>), and want to know if it's possible to physically delete only the records in major compaction, that meets, for example, the following two conditions: 1. has more than one version. (>=2) 2. timestamp is lower than a specified value. Does hbase provide interface for config compaction to allow the above behaviour (without change hbase code and recompiling)? Let me know if you have any thoughts on this. Thanks. Regards, Richard
