----------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HADOOP-1872
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1872
             Project: Hadoop
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: stack
            Assignee: stack
            Priority: Minor


Changes to TestCompaction introduced in hadoop-1768 passed an hudson build 
(#722) but reports on the hadoop irc have them failing on an an hp+ubuntu box:

{code}
cutting>        it's nothing fancy. /proc/cpuinfo shows "Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 
CPU 3.20GHz".
<buenaventura>  Thats single-cpu...
<cutting>       yep
<cutting>       1GB of ram. bog standard pc.
<cutting>       running java 5, not java 6, if that matters.
{code}

(Failed also w/ java6).

The assertion that fails is count of row versions after a compaction and flush. 
 There are usually 4 -- the 3 from stores and one that is in a flush that 
happened 'concurrent' to the compaction -- but there can be 3 only (the maximum 
for a column) if non-intuitively the compaction thread starts after the flush 
finishes which can happen with certain jvm schedulers (hudson is one such).

I commented out the assertions to get the build working again.  This issue is 
about adding them back in again in a manner that has them working on hudson and 
the bog-standard hp+ubuntu.
