Major Description
The compact command has the following description
root@accumulo> compact -?
usage: compact [<table>{ <table>}] [-?] [-b <begin-row>] [--cancel] [-e <end-row>] [-nf] [-ns <namespace> | -p <pattern> | -t <tableName>] [-pn <profile>] [-w]
description: sets all tablets for a table to major compact as soon as possible (based on current time)
-?,--help display this help
-b,--begin-row <begin-row> begin row (inclusive)
--cancel cancel user initiated compactions
-e,--end-row <end-row> end row (inclusive)
-nf,--noFlush do not flush table data in memory before compacting.
-ns,--namespace <namespace> name of a namespace to operate on
-p,--pattern <pattern> regex pattern of table names to operate on
-pn,--profile <profile> iterator profile name
-t,--table <tableName> name of a table to operate on
-w,--wait wait for compact to finish
However, the --begin-row is not inclusive. Here is a simple demonstration.
createtable compacttest addsplits a b c insert "a" "1" "" "" insert "a" "2" "" "" insert "b" "3" "" "" insert "b" "4" "" "" insert "c" "5" "" "" insert "c" "6" "" "" flush -w scan -t accumulo.metadata -np compact -b a -e c -t compacttest -w scan -t accumulo.metadata -np deletetable compacttest -f
You will see that file associated with the 'a' split is still a F flush file, which the files in the 'b' and 'c' split are A files.
Not sure if the fix is to update the commands description, which would be easy, or to make the begin row actually inclusive.
