Thanks.
Maybe i can not present my question clearly.
I indeed understand the mean of the combination
condition("hbase.server.thread.wakefrequency" and
"server.compactchecker.interval.multiplier"), i also know that its product is
the period that check whether trigger compaction.
For another combination condition("hbase.hregion.majorcompaction(7 days by
default)" and "hbase.hregion.majorcompaction.jitter"), i understand it is also
a condition to trigger compaction. right? if so, what is the relation between
the two combination condition?
