Andrew Purtell resolved HBASE-5891. ----------------------------------- Resolution: Not A Problem > Change Compression Based on Type of Compaction > ---------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-5891 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5891 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Nicolas Spiegelberg > Priority: Minor > > We currently use LZO on our production systems because the on-demand > decompression speed of GZ is too slow. That said, many of our > major-compacted StoreFiles are infrequently read because of lazy seek > optimizations, but they occupy the majority of our disk space. One idea is > to change the type of compression depending upon compaction characteristics > (input size or major compaction flag). This would allow us to have our > largest and least-read files be GZ compressed and save space. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
