Billie Rinaldi commented on ACCUMULO-1802:
------------------------------------------
One could also imagine matching a reading strategy with a compaction strategy,
to allow skipping of entire files based on file metadata when reading.
> use case for future configurability of major compactions

>
> The default compaction strategy has a tendency to put the oldest data in the
> largest files. This leads to a lot of work when it is time to age off data.
> One could imaging a compaction strategy that would split data into separate
> files based on the timestamp. Additionally, if the min/max timestamps for a
> file were known, old data could be aged off by deleting whole files.
> Augment the configurable compaction strategy to support multiple output
> files, and saving/using extra metadata in each file.
