## `BLOCKS_PER_SEGMENT`

Option | `BLOCKS_PER_SEGMENT`
Description | Desired number of blocks in a final segment
Default | `30,000`

The `BLOCKS_PER_SEGMENT` variable is used to set the desired number of blocks (each ~1 MB before compression) in a final segment after merge. Segments will get closed earlier if expired due to `MAX_HOURS_SEGMENT_OPEN`. Increasing this to a higher value means larger merged segments, with the tradeoff being that while larger merged segments take up less space in global, the files are larger, so segment movement between nodes or from bucket storage may end up moving more data than it otherwise would.
