stack commented on HBASE-775:
-----------------------------

Hey Billy: Thanks for the patch.  You made size the determinant.  I may be 
wrong, but I didn't think size mattered; the compaction is not done in RAM but 
by streaming a set of inputs to an output.

> max mapfiles to compact at one time

> Currently we compact all map files with no upper limit this could cause a

> build up.
