<title>Managed Compactions</title>
<para>A common administrative technique is to manage major compactions manually, rather than
letting HBase do it. By default, <varname>HConstants.MAJOR_COMPACTION_PERIOD</varname> is
one day and major compactions may kick in when you least desire it - especially on a busy
system. To turn off automatic major compactions set the value to <varname>0</varname>. </para>
<para>It is important to stress that major compactions are absolutely necessary for
StoreFile cleanup, the only variant is when they occur. They can be administered through
the HBase shell, or via <link
xlink:href="http://hbase.apache.org/apidocs/org/apache/hadoop/hbase/client/HBaseAdmin.html#majorCompact%28java.lang.String%29">HBaseAdmin</link>. </para>
<para>By default, major compactions are scheduled to run once in a 7-day period. Prior to HBase 0.96.x, major
compactions were scheduled to happen once per day by default.</para>
<para>If you need to control exactly when and how often major compaction runs, you can
disable managed major compactions. See the entry for
<varname>hbase.hregion.majorcompaction</varname> in the <xref
linkend="compaction.parameters" /> table for details.</para>
<warning>
<title>Do Not Disable Major Compactions</title>
<para>Major compactions are absolutely necessary for StoreFile clean-up. Do not disable
them altogether. You can run major compactions manually via the HBase shell or via the <link
xlink:href="http://hbase.apache.org/apidocs/org/apache/hadoop/hbase/client/HBaseAdmin.html#majorCompact%28java.lang.String%29">HBaseAdmin
API</link>.</para>
