From: Tianying Chang To: user@hbase.apache.org Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=001a113ed24c1ffd3b0517ca4162 X-Virus-Checked: Checked by ClamAV on apache.org --001a113ed24c1ffd3b0517ca4162 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Hi, I found that there are many hfiles saved under /hbase/.archive/table/. I know when there is a snapshot taken, the hfile might have to be saved under /hbase/.archive. But when we are not even taking snapshot, I saw lots of hfiles under /hbase/.archive. I noticed that if I run a major compaction, that seems clean up lots of hfiles from /hbase/.archive. But then it grows back again later. Wondering what else could cause hfiles stuck under /hbase/.archinve? Any hint is appreciated. Thanks Tian-YIng --001a113ed24c1ffd3b0517ca4162--
