Run hbase major compaction on all tables

sunile_manjee — Wed, 20 Jul 2016 22:45:19 GMT

I want to run major compaction on all tables & CF in hbase. In past I built a custom script to grab all tables in hbase and run compaction on each one individually. Is there easier way of doing this?

You should spread out the major compaction on individual tables.

Refer to the following:

HBASE-16147 Add ruby wrapper for getting compaction state

If there is not enough time to wait for compaction on one table to finish, at least leave some time between the start of major compactions.

Doesn't look like there is any way to accept a regex of tables.
