[jira] Commented: (HBASE-1410) compactions are not memory efficient

["Billy Pearson (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-1410?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12716150#action_12716150 ] 

Billy Pearson commented on HBASE-1410:
--------------------------------------

I am seeing compactions OOME'ing my servers with a 512MB region size setting and compression turned on with a 1GB heap
(re)deployed on each region server and killed the whole cluster one by one.

> Compactions read a lot of data into the heap. Prior to HBASE-1058 or successor issues, it was possible to stack up hundreds if not thousands of flushes in a store. Eventually when compaction is possible, no HRS has enough heap to commit for the compaction process and all OOME as the region in question is (re)deployed. HBASE-1058 is not the ideal solution.This issue suggests creating a memory efficient compaction process which can scale.
