Description
The number of iops on the disk and the top of the rack bandwidth utilization at off peak hours is much lower than at peak hours depending on the application usage pattern. We can utilize this knowledge to improve the performance of the HBase cluster by increasing the compact selection ratio to a much larger value during off-peak hours than otherwise - increasing hbase.hstore.compaction.ratio (1.2 default) to hbase.hstore.compaction.ratio.offpeak (5 default). This will help reduce the average number of files per store.
