> In CompactingMemStore#pushPipelineToSnapshot() , there is limit of 3
> iterations of pipeline.swap() call after which an empty ImmutableSegment is
> used as snapshot.
> However, after 3rd iteration, the return value from swap() is not checked.
> If the 3rd swap() call is successful, the versioned list would be swapped
> with null in pipeline and snapshot being overwritten with the empty
> ImmutableSegment.
