             Summary: Block compaction for WASB
                 Key: HADOOP-14520
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-14520

    Affects Versions: 3.0.0-alpha3
            Reporter: Georgi Chalakov
            Assignee: Georgi Chalakov


Block Compaction for WASB allows uploading new blocks for every hflush/hsync call. When the number of blocks is above a predefined, configurable value, next hflush/hsync triggers the block compaction process. Block compaction replaces a sequence of blocks with one block. From all the sequences with total length less than 4M, compaction chooses the longest one. It is a greedy algorithm that preserve all potential candidates for the next round. Block Compaction for WASB increases data durability and allows using block blobs instead of page blobs. By default, block compaction is disabled. Similar to the configuration for page blobs, the client needs to specify HDFS folders where block compaction over block blobs is enabled.
