> Documentation and discussions about Accumulo's utility to clean up unused files in HDFS can get a bit confusing, especially for Accumulo newbies. This is particularly problematic when one needs to discuss things like the Java garbage collection trigger the Accumulo garbage collector does each collection cycle to minimize memory usage and continue to collect candidates for deletion.
