Gururaj Shetty commented on CARBONDATA-207:
-------------------------------------------
Can add more details in Usage Guideline about Minor and Major compaction.
Below is the draft and the same can be updated in the .md files.
Minor Compaction:
In Minor compaction, you can specify number of loads to be merged (compacted). Minor compaction triggers for every data load if the parameter carbon.enable.auto.load.merge is set. If any segments are available to be merged, then compaction will run parallel with data load. There are 2 levels in minor compaction.
• Level 1: Merging of the segments which are not yet compacted.
• Level 2: Merging of the compacted segments again to form a bigger segment.
Major Compaction:
In Major compaction, many segments can be merged into one big segment. You can specify the compaction size until which the segments will be merged. Major compaction is usually done during the off-peak time.
> The document of "DDL operations on CarbonData", "MINOR/MAJOR" in compaction section need to provide more detail explanation
