             Summary: Decomissioning servers should focus solely on minor compactions
                 Key: ACCUMULO-901
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-901
             Project: Accumulo
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: tserver
    Affects Versions: 1.4.1
            Reporter: John Vines
            Assignee: Keith Turner


I am working on a cluster that his limited resources, which results in major backlogs of minor and major compactions. I wanted to decomission one to do some disk benchmarking, which takes a significant amount of time. One of the things I've noticed is that it seems to keep major compactions going as well.

I think that when a tserver gets stopped it should drop all queued major compactions, and block future ones from schedules to A. devote more resources to going through minor compactions and B. encourage major compaction on the new tserver to induce locality.
