> I suppose the test would make sure a compaction doesn't run too fast?
Yeah, I was thinking about how best to test this. You can only reasonably
assert a lower-bound on compaction time (to avoid performance skew on certain
hosts). Maybe turning off compression for a table, writing a bunch of data and
then asserting that a compaction takes at least X time is easiest. You'll still
have to account for "compression" from the run-length encoding, but at least
that should be uniform across hosts.
