ryan rawson commented on HBASE-1285:
------------------------------------

I'd prefer we did not require users and devs who are uninterested in thrift 
required to _have_ thrift installed.

The reason is thrift is a fairly heavyweight requirement - you are required to 
have boost installed to install the compiler.  Boost isn't always easy to 
install (for example on OS X).  And all to just generate a few files that are a 
< .1% by LOC of the code-base.



> Forcing compactions should be available via thrift.
