Shuaifeng Zhou commented on HBASE-14735:
----------------------------------------
priority <= 0 means storefiles in the store is more than
blockingFileCount(default = 7), and memory store flush on this region will be
blocked for a while.
So, I think the check doing priority <= 0 is all right, isn't it?
But this issue is that if we don't split it, may cause region growing too big.
So, Recursive enqueue is all right, but if region size is too big, it should
splited.

> When a compaction completed, may there are also many storefiles in the store,
> and CompactPriority < 0, then compactSplitThread will do a "Recursive
> enqueue" compaction request instead of request a split:
> {code:title=CompactSplitThread.java|borderStyle=solid}
> if (completed) {
> // degenerate case: blocked regions require recursive enqueues
> if (store.getCompactPriority() <= 0) {
> requestSystemCompaction(region, store, "Recursive enqueue");
> } else {
> // see if the compaction has caused us to exceed max region size
> requestSplit(region);
> }
> {code}
> But in some situation, the "recursive enqueue" request may return null, and
> not build up a new compaction runner. For example, an other compaction of the
> same region is running, and compaction selection will exclude all files older
> than the newest files currently compacting, this may cause no enough files
> can be selected by the "recursive enqueue" request. When this happen, split
> will not be trigged. If the input load is high enough, compactions aways
> running on the region, and split will never be triggered.
> In our cluster, this situation happened, and a huge region more than 400GB
> and 100+ storefiles appeared. Version is 0.98.10, and the trank also have the
> problem.
