             Summary: Limit major compactions to off peak hours
                 Key: HBASE-9365
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-9365
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Lars Hofhansl


We already have off peak hours (where we set a more aggressive compaction 
ratio) and periodic major compactions.
It would be nice if we could limit this to off peak hours as well.

A major compaction can be triggered in three ways:
# a periodic chore checking every ~3h (10.000.000ms) by default
# a minor compaction promoted to major because the last major compaction was 
too long ago
# a minor compaction promoted to major (at the HStore level), because it 
touched all HFiles anyway

For case #1 and #2 we could could optionally return false from 
Store.isMajorCompaction(...) when we're not in the off peak window. Would have 
a new config option to enforce that only optionally.
In case #3 we're compacting all files anyway, so not need to interfere with 
that.

Thoughts?
