Liyin Tang updated HBASE-6371: ------------------------------ Attachment: HBase_Tier_Base_Compaction.pdf > [89-fb] Tier based compaction > ----------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-6371 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-6371 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Akashnil > Assignee: Liyin Tang > Labels: noob > Attachments: HBASE-6371-089fb-commit.patch, > HBase_Tier_Base_Compaction.pdf > > > Currently, the compaction selection is not very flexible and is not sensitive > to the hotness of the data. Very old data is likely to be accessed less, and > very recent data is likely to be in the block cache. Both of these > considerations make it inefficient to compact these files as aggressively as > other files. In some use-cases, the access-pattern is particularly obvious > even though there is no way to control the compaction algorithm in those > cases. > In the new compaction selection algorithm, we plan to divide the candidate > files into different levels according to oldness of the data that is present > in those files. For each level, parameters like compaction ratio, minimum > number of store-files in each compaction may be different. Number of levels, > time-ranges, and parameters for each level will be configurable online on a > per-column family basis. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
