stack commented on HBASE-1058:
------------------------------

You can overrun a cluster by running a PE upload into a small cluster.  Do 
'./bin/hadoop ......PerformanceEvaluation sequentialWrite 256' ... i.e. try 
loading 1/4 billion items.  Trying this I produced a region with 1k flush files 
to compact.  It won't recover, not inside 1G of heap.   Just OOMEs.

> A rabid upload will easily outrun our compaction ability dropping flushes 
> faster than we can compact them up.  Fix.
