Nick Dimiduk commented on HBASE-6028: ------------------------------------- I think having a way to interrupt active compactions would allow implementing a reasonable short-term solution to HBASE-11368. Any chance you have a patch [~esteban]? > Implement a cancel for in-progress compactions > ---------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-6028 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-6028 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Bug > Components: regionserver > Reporter: Derek Wollenstein > Assignee: Esteban Gutierrez > Priority: Minor > Labels: beginner > > Depending on current server load, it can be extremely expensive to run > periodic minor / major compactions. It would be helpful to have a feature > where a user could use the shell or a client tool to explicitly cancel an > in-progress compactions. This would allow a system to recover when too many > regions became eligible for compactions at once -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
