Phabricator commented on HBASE-5867: ------------------------------------ stack has commented on the revision "[jira] [HBASE-5867] [89-fb] Improve Compaction Throttle Default". Should we pull this into trunk Nicolas? Would it serve as good default for out-of-the-box hbase? REVISION DETAIL https://reviews.facebook.net/D2943 BRANCH (no branch) > Improve Compaction Throttle Default > ----------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-5867 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5867 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Nicolas Spiegelberg > Assignee: Nicolas Spiegelberg > Priority: Minor > Attachments: D2943.1.patch > > > We recently had a production issue where our compactions fell behind because > our compaction throttle was improperly tuned and accidentally upgraded all > compactions to the large pool. The default from HBASE-3877 makes 1 bad > assumption: the default number of flushed files in a compaction. Currently > the algorithm is: > throttleSize ~= flushSize * 2 > This assumes that the basic compaction utilizes 3 files and that all 3 files > are compressed. In this case, "hbase.hstore.compaction.min" == 6 && the > values were not very compressible. Both conditions should be taken into > consideration. As a default, it is less damaging for the large thread to be > slightly higher than it needs to be versus having everything accidentally > promoted. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
