[jira] [Comment Edited] (HBASE-7519) Support level compaction

["Sergey Shelukhin (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-7519?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14725764#comment-14725764 ]

-----------------------------------------------------------------

It appears that this has been abandoned. Stripe compaction (which are supposed to be better for most HBase scenarios than level) never became very popular (possibly because they are difficult to configure), although some people use them. There are some subtle difficulties about doing level compactions correctly in HBase (some discussed above in comments and in the attached files), but the infrastructure for custom compactions is in place now, so if you want to contribute, feel free.

> The level compaction algorithm may help HBase for some use cases, for example, read heavy loads (especially, just one version is used), relative small key space updated frequently.
