David Medinets commented on ACCUMULO-251:
-----------------------------------------
>From A. Fuchs on the mailing list: I think the confusion here might be that
>there are two different operations called "flush". One is the flush of the
>BatchWriter's local buffer, and the other is the flush of the TabletServer's
>in-memory map (AKA minor compaction). This example refers to the latter. There
>are also auto-flushes in both cases, but the flush in this case is effectively
>forcing the minor-compaction operation with a known quantity of data.
This information might also be useful in the README.bloom file.
> Add wording to README.bloom about reason for flushing.

> The README.bloom file says this:
> * Insert 1 million entries using RandomBatchWriter with a seed of 7
> * Flush the table using the shell
> * Insert 1 million entries using RandomBatchWriter with a seed of 8
> * Flush the table using the shell
> * Insert 1 million entries using RandomBatchWriter with a seed of 9
> * Flush the table using the shell
> However, no reasons are given for why three flushes are used instead of one.
> Please explain the reasons.
