Kannan Muthukkaruppan commented on HBASE-3189:
----------------------------------------------
I think, usability wise, jitter (and it's default) should be specified as
fraction (% value) of the major compaction cycle time, instead of absolute
terms (like 4 hours)/
Otherwise, you have a backward compat issue with this change for someone who is
running a major compaction say every three hours, but has forgotten to set the
jitter parameter when they upgrade to 0.90. And they'll be compacting anywhere
from 3hrs +/- (2* 4 hours jitter default). This approach will also ensure you
don't return -ve values for "get next compaction time".

> For pre-split regions, we can get into a case where the oldest HFile in a
> Store is pretty large and will not encounter a compaction within the 24hr
> major compact window. If that's the case, we don't want multiple multi-GB
> major compactions being triggered at the same time. Add ability to stagger
> the major compaction expiration window.
