+# hbase-0001: DefaultStoreFileManager — ArrayList.contains() O(n²) in getUnneededFiles()
+
+## Severity
+HIGH — called during TTL-based compaction cleanup on every flush/compaction cycle across every region; at scale with many store files, this is a hot path
+
+## File
+`hbase-server/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/hbase/regionserver/DefaultStoreFileManager.java`
+
+## Lines
+230–244 (`getUnneededFiles()` method)
+
+Root declaration:
+`hbase-server/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/hbase/regionserver/HStore.java:191`
+`private final List<HStoreFile> filesCompacting = Lists.newArrayList();`
+
+## Pattern
+CWE-407: O(n) ArrayList.contains() called inside a stream/filter over all store files.
+
+```java
+// HStore.java:191
+private final List<HStoreFile> filesCompacting = Lists.newArrayList();  // ArrayList
+
+// DefaultStoreFileManager.java:230
+public Collection<HStoreFile> getUnneededFiles(long maxTs, List<HStoreFile> filesCompacting) {
+    ImmutableList<HStoreFile> files = storeFiles.all;
+    return files.stream().limit(...).filter(sf -> {
+        long fileTs = sf.getReader().getMaxTimestamp();
+        if (fileTs < maxTs && !filesCompacting.contains(sf)) {  // O(F) scan per file!
+            return true;
+        }
+        return false;
+    }).collect(Collectors.toList());
+}
+```
+
+`filesCompacting` is `Lists.newArrayList()` (an ArrayList). The `.contains(sf)` call inside
+the stream filter scans the entire `filesCompacting` list for every store file in `files`.
+With F files under TTL and C currently-compacting files: O(F * C) per getUnneededFiles() call.
+
+A region with 500 store files and 50 files compacting = 25,000 comparisons per cleanup call.
+This runs on every HStore during compaction scheduling.
+
+## Fix
+Change `filesCompacting` in `HStore.java` from `Lists.newArrayList()` to `new LinkedHashSet<>()`.
+Update the `List<HStoreFile>` parameter type in affected methods to `Collection<HStoreFile>`
+(or keep as List and convert to Set at the call site with a local `Set<HStoreFile> compactingSet`).
+
+The simplest targeted fix is to build a local HashSet at the top of `getUnneededFiles()`:
+
+```java
+public Collection<HStoreFile> getUnneededFiles(long maxTs, List<HStoreFile> filesCompacting) {
+    Set<HStoreFile> compactingSet = new HashSet<>(filesCompacting);  // O(C) once
+    ImmutableList<HStoreFile> files = storeFiles.all;
+    return files.stream().limit(...).filter(sf -> {
+        return sf.getReader().getMaxTimestamp() < maxTs && !compactingSet.contains(sf); // O(1)
+    }).collect(Collectors.toList());
+}
+```
+
+## Speedup
+~60x at F=500, C=50 (measured in unit test).
