hello everyone!
Differenct between them: 1、minor_compact will select best storeFiles to compact。 2、major_compact will select all storeFiles to compact and do some clean work。 RegionServer holds only one compactSplitThread ,and only one compact task run ! 3、The compaction task just scans all the storefiles and then merge one, so I hold the opinon that major compact only cost more time than minor . best regards!!
