        '<column_family>' | nil[,
        '<compact_type>']]
Arguments
Parameter Description

namespace_name

A namespace name

table_name

A table name

region_name

A Region name without its encoded part. For example, if the full Region name is wordcount2,m,1637833871529.2ff3683a90c4106432c540ddd0f57cba., then the region_name is wordcount2,m,1637833871529. You can get the full Region name and exclude its encoded part via the list_regions command output (the REGION_NAME field)

encoded_region_name

An encoded part of the Region name. For example, if the full Region name is wordcount2,m,1637833871529.2ff3683a90c4106432c540ddd0f57cba., then the encoded part is 2ff3683a90c4106432c540ddd0f57cba. You can get the full Region name and obtain its encoded part via the list_regions command output (the REGION_NAME field)

column_family

A column family name

compact_type

Possible values:

  • NORMAL — normal compaction;

  • MOB — MOB (medium-sized objects) compaction.

The default value is NORMAL. See more details in the HBase documentation
