> HBase provides _hbase.hregion.majorcompaction_ 
> {quote}
> Time between major compactions, expressed in milliseconds. Set to 0 to disable time-based automatic major compactions. User-requested and size-based major compactions will still run. This value is multiplied by hbase.hregion.majorcompaction.jitter to cause compaction to start at a somewhat-random time during a given window of time. The default value is 7 days, expressed in milliseconds. If major compactions are causing disruption in your environment, you can configure them to run at off-peak times for your deployment, or disable time-based major compactions by setting this parameter to 0, and run major compactions in a cron job or by another external mechanism.
> {quote}
> Instead of this existing mechanism, that adds randomness into a production system (ugh), let's simply allow users to specify a cron string and replace this simple periodic (+jitter) scheduling mechanism.  CRON is useful for systems that have known windows of time (i.e. weekend, nights) that are known to be good times for compaction.
