Edward Bortnikov commented on HBASE-17662:
------------------------------------------
Folks,
Apologies for pushing again, but please help us turning some fire under this
Jira and the others remaining in this project ... This one is the last exposed
bug that prevents us from turning BASIC compaction into default. Seems like
this is a small patch, can we commit it?
Thanks.

> 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.
