[jira] Commented: (HBASE-2087) The wait on compaction because "Too many store files" holds up all flushing

["Jean-Daniel Cryans (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-2087?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12795715#action_12795715 ] 

Jean-Daniel Cryans commented on HBASE-2087:
-------------------------------------------

So either we have too much WALs or too much store files right? Like I said in HBASE-2053, our WAL is set very small so that master splits fast and we don't lose data. In 0.21 we won't lose data so speeding up the spit time then set a higher/bigger WAL would solve this problem?

> The method MemStoreFlusher#checkStoreFileCount is called from flushRegion.  flushRegion is called by MemStoreFlusher#run thread.  If the checkStoreFileCount finds too many store files, it'll stick around waiting on a compaction to happen.  While its hanging, the MemStoreFlusher#run is held up.  No other region can flush.  Meantime WALs will be rolling and memory will be accumulating writes.
