> I found this while trying out 0.95.2
> I couldn't shut my cluster down because one region was still compacting, but it already had been doing that for an hour and it only had 80MBs of data.
> Debugging I saw that it was a post-split compaction, specifically for the top part of the HFiles, and that it was just spinning on the first entry in the file.
> Eventually I saw that the anonymous HFileScanner inside HalfStoreFileReader.getScanner (that's so dirty) wasn't handling HConstants.INDEX_KEY_MAGIC in seekTo() when calling this:
> bq. this.delegate.seekTo(splitkey)
> Instead it would treat this as if the split key wasn't in the file, but still seek back to the beginning of the file *then read on from there*.
> During the compaction it would see a KV that's not even part of the region, and it just tries to find the correct block over and over again.
> This came from HBASE-7845.
