                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-2949
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: stack


Users have asked for this w/ a while.  They start a major compaction and are a 
little baffled when the shell returns immediately.  We need to make the call 
synchronous or add a callback or provide a progressable so user can see how 
complete the task is.  Should we include a cancel task?  "Hey! Why did 
everything go slow of a sudden?" .... 5 minutes later "A major compaction 
started on hbase... how do we turn it off?"

The need for this feature was also mentioned in HBASE-2701
