             Summary: make the compaction logging less confusing
                 Key: HBASE-9829
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-9829
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Compaction
            Reporter: Sergey Shelukhin
            Priority: Minor


1) One of the most popular question from HBase users has got to be "I have scheduled major compactions to run once per week, why are there so many".
We need to somehow tell the user, when we log a major compaction, whether it's a major compaction because that's what was in the request (from regular major compaction or user request), or was it just promoted because it took all files. Esp. the latter should be clear.
2) small vs large compaction threads and minor vs major compactions is confusing. Maybe the threads can be named short and long compactions.
