stack commented on HBASE-2457:
------------------------------

.bq ...could we simply make it so that it checks whether there are currently 
flushes blocked on a compaction, and if that's the case, force one to happen?

Thats not easy given current structure.

Here's a second cut at a band-aid.  This differs from first in that we'll 
compact the last 4 files in the list at a minimum.  Review please.  I'm testing 
it now.

> Testing 0.20_pre_durabil...@934643, I ended up in a state where one region 
> server got stuck compacting a single region over and over again forever. This 
> was with a special config with very low flush threshold in order to stress 
> test flush/compact code.
