Gary Helmling commented on HBASE-16755:
---------------------------------------
[~Apache9], yes, currently with either FlushAllLargeStoresPolicy or
FlushNonSloppyStoresFirstPolicy, we still will fall back to all stores in the
case that none of the stores meets the flush threshold. So we will still
ensure that something is always flushed.
Thanks for taking a look, I'll go ahead and commit.

> When global memstore reaches the low water mark, we pick the best flushable
> region and flush all column families for it. This is a suboptimal approach in
> the sense that it leads to an unnecessarily high file creation rate and IO
> amplification due to compactions. We should still try to honor the underlying
> FlushPolicy.
