             Summary: External Configuration for Memory Compaction 
                 Key: HBASE-17294
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-17294
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Sub-task
            Reporter: Eshcar Hillel


We would like to have a single external knob to control memstore compaction.
Possible memstore compaction policies are none, basic, and eager.
This sub-task allows to set this property at the column family level at table creation time:
{code}
create ‘<tablename>’,
   {NAME => ‘<cfname>’, 
    IN_MEMORY_COMPACTION => ‘<NONE|BASIC|EAGER>’}
{code}
or to set this at the global configuration level by setting the property in abase-site.xml, with BASIC being the default value:
{code}
<property>
	<name>hbase.hregion.compacting.memstore.type</name>
	<value><NONE|BASIC|EAGER></value>
</property>
{code}
The values used in this property can change as memstore compaction policies evolve over time.
