Hello Hbaseers, When dealing with time series, one can imagine that deleting row older than a specific date threashold would be a common use case.
If I am not mistaken, the only options available today to perform this aging delete is to first mark these row with a delete operation that will set tombstone marker, and then major compaction will take care of removing the data. However this tombstoning is consuming valuable resource and I was wondering if we could instead pass a parameter to the major compact command and tell it, BTW, any rowkey lower than xxxxxxxx, consider it tomb stoned, so delete it. Is that crazy idea? Regards, Eric
