             Summary: Minor compactions not finishing before master kills tabletserver can very large number of files per tablet
                 Key: ACCUMULO-1052
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-1052
             Project: Accumulo
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: master, tserver
    Affects Versions: 1.4.2
         Environment: Large, write-heavy cluster
            Reporter: Josh Elser
            Assignee: Eric Newton


On a cluster that is being saturated with heavy ingest, a tserver is observed attempting to perform a minor compaction for a tablet with multiple WALs. Because of this, commits to this tablet end up being held.

After churning on the minc for some time, the master's hold-time limit for tservers is exceeded, however the minc didn't finish. The tserver is forcibly killed, the tablet is migrated, recovery occurs on the new tserver and the problem repeats.

Some of the minor compactions must finish, as the number of files for that tablet continue to grow, but major compactions must not have time to finish since the number of files grow unbounded.
