--------------------------------------------
[~krummas], is it feasible to add a unit test for this?

>
> seems we might have a race situation when cancelling compactions
> currently we do the following to ensure that we don't start any new
> compactions when we try to do markAllCompacting()
> # pause compactions - this makes sure we don't create any new compaction
> tasks from the compaction strategies
> # cancel any ongoing compactions - compactions register themselves with the
> CompactionMetrics and then, when cancelling we get all compactions here, and
> tell them to stop
> Problem is that there is a window between when the CompactionTask is created
> and when it is registered in CompactionMetrics meaning with a bit of bad
> luck, we could have a situation like this:
> # we finish a compaction and create a new CompactionTask from the compaction
> strategy
> # we pause the compaction strategies to not create any new CompactionTasks
> # we cancel all ongoing compactions
> # The CompactionTask created in #1 above registers itself in
> CompactionMetrics and misses that it should be cancelled
