Lars Hofhansl commented on HBASE-14272:
---------------------------------------

hbase.hstore.time.to.purge.deletes is an extra mechanism to delay removal of 
delete marker for a bit (mostly a hack to guard against bad timing of 
compactions at a replication slave when edit can arrive out of order from the 
master). It has nothing to do with KEEP_DELETED_CELLS.

KEEP_DELETED_CELLS makes the effect worse in this scenario. Not only the delete 
markers would be hanging around, but also the data they mark for delete.


> Enforce major compaction on stores with KEEP_DELETED_CELLS=true

> Currently, if store has one (major compacted) file, the only case when major 
> compaction will be triggered for this file again - when locality is below 
> threshold, defined by *hbase.hstore.min.locality.to.skip.major.compact* or 
> TTL expired some cells. If file has locality greater than this threshold it 
> will never be major compacted until Store's TTL kicks in. For CF with 
> KEEP_DELETED_CELLS on, compaction must be enabled always (even for single 
> file), regardless of locality, when deleted cells are expired 
> (*hbase.hstore.time.to.purge.deletes*)
