Not a silly question: >From the logs it seemed like the region servers could not handle the workload of simultaneous compactions and insertions in the table. No, we haven't run manual compactions on this particular table yet. /David On Tue, Jul 9, 2013 at 6:53 PM, Michael Segel wrote: > Silly

Silly question... Why are you trying to disable automated compaction? And then the equally silly question... are you attempting to run full compactions manually? On Jul 9, 2013, at 11:41 AM, David Koch wrote: > Hello, > > Thank you for your replies. > > So, as suggested, I tweaked the

Hi David, Minor compactions can be promoted to Major compactions when all the files are selected for compaction. And the property below will not avoid that to occur. Section 9.7.6.5 there: http://hbase.apache.org/book/regions.arch.html JM 2013/7/9 David Koch : > Hello, > > We disabled automate

Disabled automated compaction - table still compacting

Hello, We disabled automated major compactions by setting hbase.hregion.majorcompaction=0. This was to avoid issues during buik import of data since compactions seemed to cause the running imports to crash. However, even after disabling, region server logs still show compactions going on, as well
