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.

> 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.
