Jimmy Xiang commented on HBASE-7516: ------------------------------------ Not a big deal, but wondering, can we call the existing policy DefaultCompactionPolicy or something else, and make CompactionPolicy the actual base? {noformat} - CompactionPolicy compactionPolicy; + CompactionPolicyBase<?> compactionPolicy; {noformat} The compactionPolicy has two abstract methods. How do you expect them to be used? Where will the actually compaction algorithm logic be if applyCompactionPolicy returns a CompactSelection? What's a CfgType? {noformat} + protected abstract CfgType createCompactionConfiguration(Configuration configuration, + StoreConfiguration storeConfig); + + protected abstract CompactSelection applyCompactionPolicy(CompactSelection candidates) + throws IOException; {noformat} Some javadoc will be very helpful. By the way, should we use RB for the next patch? [~sershe], thanks a lot for taking this issue. > Make compaction policy pluggable > -------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-7516 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-7516 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Jimmy Xiang > Assignee: Sergey Shelukhin > Attachments: HBASE-7516-v0.patch > > -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
