Links left in data/default/table_name directory after major compaction

Hi all,

For a table that was restored from a snapshot in HBase 1.1.2, is it normal
for some link files to still remain in data/default/table_name? Another
major_compact clears these link files, so shouldn't they have been deleted
the first time around?

Thanks!

Hi Anthony,

It depends on many things, TTLs, versions, etc. Do you see anything in the
logs why the RS skipped to compact those region files on the first attempt?

thanks,
esteban.
