------------------------------------------------
+1 on this patch if we agree with moving the check under the 'if' condition
that checks for the size.

> When replaying the edits from WAL, the region's updateLock is not taken,
> because a single threaded action is assumed. However, the thread-safeness of
> the in-memory flush of CompactingMemStore is based on taking the region's
> updateLock.
> The in-memory flush can be skipped in the replay time (anyway everything is
> flushed to disk just after the replay). Therefore it is acceptable to just
> skip the in-memory flush action while the updates come as part of replay from
> WAL.
