> ----------------------------------
>
> Key: ACCUMULO-4187
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-4187
> Project: Accumulo
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: core, tserver
> Affects Versions: 1.8.0
> Reporter: Shawn Walker
> Priority: Minor
>
> In discussing [ACCUMULO-4166] with Keith Turner, we decided that the
> underlying issue is that major compactions can overwhelm a tablet server,
> rendering it nearly unresponsive.
> To address this, we should take a cue from Apache Cassandra and restrict how
> quickly we perform major compactions. Rate limiting reads and writes
> involved in major compactions will directly affect the IO load caused by
> major compactions, and should also indirectly affect the CPU load.
