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 > --------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-14272 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-14272 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Vladimir Rodionov > Assignee: Vladimir Rodionov > Fix For: 2.0.0 > > Attachments: HBASE-14272-v2.patch, HBASE-14272.patch > > > 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*) -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
