[jira] [Commented] (HBASE-9648) collection one expired storefile causes it to be replaced by another expired storefile

["Jean-Marc Spaggiari (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-9648?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13776583#comment-13776583 ] 

Jean-Marc Spaggiari commented on HBASE-9648:
--------------------------------------------

Is the region really empty? From the logs provided by the user we can see this:
{code}
size=491.0; total size for store is 5.7m
{code}

491 bytes is very small, I agree, but might not be totally empty.

> There's a shortcut in compaction selection that causes the selection of expired store files to quickly delete.
> However, there's also the code that ensures we write at least one file to preserve seqnum. This new empty file is "expired", because it has no data, presumably.
> So it's collected again, etc.
> This affects 94, probably also 96.
