It sounds like you want to try and not minor compact during your ingest of your data. Is that correct?

My situation is when I ingest a large data using the BatchWriter, the minor compaction is triggered uncontrollably. The flush() command in BatchWriter seems not for this purpose. I also tried to play around with parameters in documentation but seems not much helpful. Also, can you please explain the number 0, 1.0, 2.0, ... in charts (web monitoring) denoting the level of Minor Compaction and Major Compaction? Thank you! Hai Pham
