Andrew Purtell commented on HBASE-9365: --------------------------------------- Can we make the decision when to run major compaction pluggable? Then provide the current decisionmaking as default. Then introduce the suggested policy in this issue. > Optionally limit major compactions to off peak hours > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-9365 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-9365 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Lars Hofhansl > > We already have off peak hours (where we set a more aggressive compaction > ratio) and periodic major compactions. > It would be nice if we could limit this to off peak hours as well. > A major compaction can be triggered in three ways: > # a periodic chore checking every ~3h (10.000.000ms) by default > # a minor compaction promoted to major because the last major compaction was > too long ago > # a minor compaction promoted to major (at the HStore level), because it > touched all HFiles anyway > For case #1 and #2 we could could optionally return false from > Store.isMajorCompaction(...) when we're not in the off peak window. Would > have a new config option to enforce that only optionally. > In case #3 we're compacting all files anyway, so not need to interfere with > that. > Thoughts? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
