Dimitar Dimitrov commented on CASSANDRA-13801:
----------------------------------------------

It turns out that the problem does not necessarily require altering the 
compaction strategy.
It seems to be rooted in a potential problem with counting the CF compaction 
requests, that can eventually lead to a skipped background compaction.

The wrong counting can happen if the counting multiset increment 
[here|https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/95b43b195e4074533100f863344c182a118a8b6c/src/java/org/apache/cassandra/db/compaction/CompactionManager.java#L197]
 gets delayed and happens after the corresponding counting multiset decrement 
already happened 
[here|https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/95b43b195e4074533100f863344c182a118a8b6c/src/java/org/apache/cassandra/db/compaction/CompactionManager.java#L284].

Here are the branches with the proposed changes, as well as a Byteman test that 
can be used to demonstrate the issue.
testall results look good (3.0 and trunk each have 1 seemingly unrelated, flaky 
test failing).
dtest results will be added soon.

> Sometimes after writing different rows to a table, then doing a blocking 
> flush, if you alter the compaction strategy, then run background compaction 
> and wait for it to finish, {{CompactionManager}} may decide that there's an 
> ongoing compaction for that same table.
> This may happen even though logs don't indicate that to be the case 
> (compaction may still be running for system_schema tables).
