Ashu Pachauri commented on HBASE-16755:
---------------------------------------
Just to add to my previous comment,
bq. we can either pass down the "emergencyFlush" flag to the Region#flush
This requires changing the LimitedPrivate Region api, and may not make sense to
do for a point release.
> Honor flush policy under global memstore pressure

> 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.
