If a multi-column family region, before bulk > loading, we want to take a write lock on the region. If the compaction takes > too long, the bulk load fails. > Various recipes include: > + Making smaller regions (lame) > + [~victorunique] suggests major compacting just before bulk loading over in > HBASE-10882 as a work around. > Does the compaction need a read lock for that long? Does the bulk load need > a full write lock when multiple column families? Can we fail more gracefully > at least? -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
