> Key: HBASE-6745
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-6745
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Replication, wal
> Reporter: Jimmy Xiang
> Priority: Major
>
> Currently, memstore flusher always chooses the biggest memstore region to
> flush.
> Suppose I have two tables: one is very actively updated, while the other is
> periodically updated. The active one has biggest memstore all the time and is
> flushed all the time. But the in-active one never gets a chance to flush.
> Since it is not flushed, the hlog file can't be archived, although there are
> lots of hlog files.
> If the active table happens to have big updates all the time, the hlog files
> could cause huge disk space pressure.
> Other than the memstore size, periodically flushing regions based on hlog
> roll time is helpful in hlog archiving/replication.
