Major Description
A recent conversation on #Accumulo pointed out a need for better documentation on how we store state in RFile names
15:18 < vines_> What are the prefix for files? 15:18 < vines_> A is a full compaction, F is a partial major compaction, I is an import.. uhhh? 15:20 < vines_> oops, F is minor, M is merging 15:20 < elserj> C was manual compact i think? 15:20 < vines_> I thought C was full 15:21 < elserj> you just said A was full 15:21 < vines_> I'm not sure 15:21 < elserj> lol 15:21 < vines_> considering I just contradicted myselkf on F 15:21 < elserj> i thought A was automatic compact and C was user-issued compact 15:21 < elserj> F was a flush, I thought 15:22 < vines_> I don't think we differentiate user interfaced or not 15:22 < vines_> C is a complete compaction - all files 15:22 < vines_> A is an incomplete major compaction 15:22 < vines_> F is a minor compaction 15:22 < vines_> M is a merging minor 15:22 < vines_> alright 15:22 < elserj> ah ok. you'd typically see the C is a user did a compact in the shell 15:22 < elserj> unless you set your ratio to something dumb? 15:23 < elserj> that's probably what i was thinking of 15:33 < vines_> perhaps 15:43 < madrob> A is all. 15:43 < madrob> C is partial 15:43 < madrob> F is flush 15:49 < busbey> could someone file a Jira to document this? 15:49 < busbey> nevermind, I'll do it. ;)
I'm not sure where the correct place for this is. I'm guessing somewhere in javadocs. Maybe in an advanced section of the administration manual?
