Lars Hofhansl commented on HBASE-4071:
--------------------------------------
We could have a CompactionPolicy (or something similarly named) interface
implemented in each Store. I need to spend some time looking at all the various
cases to see how to abstract this.
In the test-patch above, did I miss any part that would need to be touched by
this?

> We were chatting today about our backup cluster. What we want is to be able
> to restore the dataset from any point of time but only within a limited
> timeframe -- say one week. Thereafter, if the versions are older than one
> week, rather than as we do with TTL where we let go of all versions older
> than TTL, instead, let go of all versions EXCEPT the last one written. So,
> its like versions==1 when TTL > one week. We want to allow that if an error
> is caught within a week of its happening -- user mistakenly removes a
> critical table -- then we'll be able to restore up the the moment just before
> catastrophe hit otherwise, we keep one version only.
