Lars Hofhansl commented on HBASE-8963: -------------------------------------- I still do not get the use case. The archiver does not keep the files forever. Is it a problem to keep the data around for 5 minutes (default) and then have it removed? Could always reduce the time from 5 minutes to 1 minute or so. (and maybe we can use 0 as an indicator to delete immediately - that would come naturally). But I really first want to hear why keeping the files for a short amount of time and then deleting them is a problem. Maybe it's obvious and I am missing something. In that case please add some more details to the description. > Add configuration option to skip HFile archiving > ------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HBASE-8963 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-8963 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Ted Yu > Assignee: bharath v > Fix For: 0.99.0 > > Attachments: HBASE-8963.trunk.v1.patch, HBASE-8963.trunk.v2.patch, > HBASE-8963.trunk.v3.patch, HBASE-8963.trunk.v4.patch, > HBASE-8963.trunk.v5.patch, HBASE-8963.trunk.v6.patch, > HBASE-8963.trunk.v7.patch > > > Currently HFileArchiver is always called when a table is dropped. > A configuration option (either global or per table) should be provided so > that archiving can be skipped when table is deleted. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
