Ashu Pachauri reassigned HBASE-17057: ------------------------------------- Assignee: Ashu Pachauri > Minor compactions should also drop page cache behind reads > ---------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-17057 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-17057 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Compaction > Reporter: Ashu Pachauri > Assignee: Ashu Pachauri > > Long compactions currently drop cache behind reads so that they don't pollute > the page cache but short compactions don't do that. The bulk of the data is > actually read during minor compactions instead of major compactions, and > thrashes the page cache since it's mostly not needed. > We should drop page cache behind reads for minor compactions too. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
