hbase.store.delete.expired.storefile is true in file
hbase-0.98.5/hbase-server/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/hbase/regionserver/compaction/CompactionConfigureation.java,
the reference code is 83th line as follows:
shouldDeleteExpired = conf.getBoolean("hbase.store.delete.expired.storefile",
true);
The region number have grown from 16 to 263 over the past seven months, maybe
the hbase.hregion.max.filesize value(4G) is a bit small. It looks likely that
the solution is to adjust hbase.hregion.max.filesize bigger and merge the
adjacent regions.
Any other ideas to suggest?
