I tried both hbase shell's major_compact cmd and java api HBaseAdmin.majorCompact() on table name. They don't flush the memstore on to disk, compact cmd seems not doing that too.
I hadn't read enough related code, While I am wondering, is that because there are size threshold before a memstore is flushed? Then a user invoked compact don't force to flush it?
