-----------------------------------------
Is it to intended to be committed, or experimental? I can review tomorrow
> Add compaction policy that explores more storefile groups

> Some workloads that are not as stable can have compactions that are too large
> or too small using the current storefile selection algorithm.
> Currently:
> * Find the first file that Size(fi) <= Sum(0, i-1, FileSize(fx))
> * Ensure that there are the min number of files (if there aren't then bail
> out)
> * If there are too many files keep the larger ones.
> I would propose something like:
> * Find all sets of storefiles where every file satisfies
> ** FileSize(fi) <= Sum(0, i-1, FileSize(fx))
> ** Num files in set =< max
> ** Num Files in set >= min
> * Then pick the set of files that maximizes ((# storefiles in set) /
> Sum(FileSize(fx)))
> The thinking is that the above algorithm is pretty easy reason about, all
> files satisfy the ratio, and should rewrite the least amount of data to get
> the biggest impact in seeks.
